Junior Tim Coleman, a 6'8 center, and 6'6 freshman forward Sam Winter will be among those who will see increased minutes. Both started in Saturday's loss to Colgate, but both also struggled, combining to connect on just 4-of-20 shots.

Coleman did, however, manage to collect a career-high 16 boards, pacing the Crimson, which outrebounded Colgate, 42-33.

Rebounding has been an area of improvement for Harvard of late, thanks to Coleman as well as sophomore Andrew Gellert. The 6'2 guard is currently the team's second-leading rebounder, snatching 5.1 rpg. In addition, Gellert is tied with Coleman for the team lead in offensive rebounds with 20.

Gellert's counterpart in the backcourt, freshman point guard Elliot Prasse-Freeman, will be back in action tonight after sustaining an eye injury on Saturday and being forced to leave the game.

Prasse-Freeman is fast emerging as a reliable floor general for the Crimson. While still prone to the occasional rookie mistake (his 29 turnovers lead the team), he is starting to make better decisions with his passes, and has also demonstrated a definite ability to score. Prasse-Freeman poured in 15 points and notched the team's first double-double against Navy on Dec.4, then added a career-high 16 points in Harvard's loss to Boston University on Dec. 7.

He will be one of several young Crimson players who will be forced to assume new responsibilities quickly in Clemente's absence.

Becoming accustomed to life without Clemente--the seventh-leading scorer in the nation before he went down--will undoubtedly take time, as many players will need to reexamine their offensive roles.

The Crimson cannot afford to force shots. In the loss to Colgate, many Harvard players looked to be trying to do too much to help pick up the slack in Clemente's absence. Against Dartmouth, Harvard will need to showcase better ball movement in order to generate higher-percentage shots.
