Coleman averaged 2.8 ppg and 2.4 rpg last year, and did make seven starts.

But Clemente, a returning Ivy honorable mention winner, will be the key to the frontcourt, not to mention the team. After rehabilitating from off-season ankle surgery, Clemente said he feels "110 percent" and should be able to defend and rebound better, in addition to maintaining his always-dangerous scoring presence.

Clemente averaged 14.7 ppg and made 58 three-pointers, despite having his playing time curtailed by his degenerative ankle condition.

Clemente's best game came in late December at Northeastern, when he torched the Huskies for 32 points in an overtime win. And in Harvard's 87-79 win over Princeton on Senior Night, Clemente drilled a 28-foot three-pointer near the end of regulation that helped galvanize his team into a stunning upset.

"A lot's going to be different on the offensive end with Tim Hill gone," Clemente said. "The ball's going to be in my hands a lot more. With not having to think about my ankle, I'll be able to penetrate past the big guys and take them to the hole, or step out. I have the option."

Clemente has always proved very difficult to mark man-to-man, simply because size and shooting ability like his don't often come together. But with fewer secondary options on the floor, Clemente may draw low-post double-teams, or may find himself facing more zone coverage.

"Dan's going to be more of a marked man," Sullivan said. "He's going to continue to work hard to get himself open, and he's proven he can do that at the four."

How will Clemente respond to the extra attention he'll receive?
