Snowden is a superb basketball player. But he doesn't have the ability to take control of a game offensively, and the Crimson can't expect him to.

Sullivan lamented his team's inadequacies shooting threes, but the real problem this weekend seemed to be Harvard's unwillingness to shoot from the perimeter. Junior forward Mike Scott, who is clearly not Harvard's best long-range threat, was forced to take nearly half of Harvard's threes almost by default--no one else on the floor would step up.

In fact, Scott's mediocre shooting statistics (10-23) over the weekend are not so much a testament to his poor play as they are to his willingness to take the weight of the team on his shoulders. Scott tried to carry a team in die need of leadership and a clear vision of its purpose on the floor.

From here, Harvard needs something to take into the rest of the year, and into next year, if it is ever to compete seriously in the Ivies.

In "The Fan", Wesley Snipes decides that he broke out of his slump when he "Just didn't care anymore." I don't claim or want to be that cynical, but Harvard does need to realize that to beat Princeton, it needs to do the same things it needs to do to beat Yale, Brown and every other team on the schedule.

Whether this weekend will convince the Crimson of that is anyone's guess, but hopefully the whole experience this weekend will light a fire of anger under a team that was so close to leaping into Ivy contention, rather than case frustration, depression and acceptance of second-tier status.
