"We're not solid chemistry-wise," Coleman said. "But I don't think a lot of teams are. Especially when you bring in a new point guard to an offense like ours, there's going to be some problems."
Coleman is one of the reasons Harvard has been able to overcome the poor defense. His 19 points and eight rebounds against B.U. were both game-highs, while his three-point shooting (5-of-7) has been a pleasant surprise this season.
Unlike some of its previous games, the Crimson shouldn't have a problem matching up size-wise against Colgate. Both Coleman and Clemente outsize Colgate's forwards. Hopefully, that should lead to more rebounding and tougher inside defense.
Clemente will have to find his shot tomorrow for Harvard to have a chance to break out of its current slump. A solid Clemente lets other players like Long and Coleman focus on defense, rebounding and passing.
"We don't really know who we're going to count on," Coleman said.
If it starts out strong and keeps hitting the open shots, the Crimson won't have to worry about another devastating last-second loss.
