...guys work outside in,” Cusworth said. “Our biggest emphasis has been out-toughing teams. That’s definitely going to be the emphasis in this game too, just to try to overpower them because we think we’re a lot tougher and a lot stronger.”While none of the Big Green post players are taller than 6’9 or score more than seven points a game, Dartmouth’s shooting guards are a dangerous lot.
