"We just need to make sure we're not pressing the issue," said Long. "We need to create shots and give guys good looks."
In addition, Harvard must curtail the turnovers. The loss to Colgate saw
the Crimson surrender the ball 27 times, a mark uncharacteristic of a team
that boasts a +2.8 turnover ratio. A high number of turnovers will only
give the Big Green extra chances in the offensive end that Harvard can ill afford.
In short, Harvard will need to play better in its second game without
Clemente than it did in its first. If it simply plays within its own limitations, then Harvard might just discover that there is life after Dan Clemente and get the Ivy League season off on the right foot.
