BANGOR, Maine - The University of Maine men's basketball team fell in their return to the Cross Insurance Center on Wednesday night, as the Dartmouth Big Green dispatched the Black Bears by a 77-44 final score. 

Dartmouth opened the game on an 11-0 run to set the tone early, as Maine managed to trim the lead back down to five after a Mykhailo Yagodin three ball made it 15-10. The Big Green put up another big run though, this time a 9-0 run, and the Black Bears never could quite close the gap. The buzzer sounded, and the Ivy League visitors walked away with the 77-44 victory.
