The go-to player: the member of a team that should have the ball most often during the course of a game, particularly at crucial moments, because of her ability to carry the team nearly single-handedly.

Every basketball team has a go-to player--good teams, bad teams, great teams, awful teams. And the Harvard women's basketball team is no different.

Harvard (8-14, 5-6 Ivy) has a go-to player, and her name is Rose Janowski. The only problem is her teammates don't seem to realize it.

The Crimson was mathematically eliminated from Ivy League title contention over the weekend with a convincing 84-67 defeat at Pennsylvania (9-14, 5-6) and a heartbreaking, 51-48, double-overtime loss to Princeton (14-9, 9-2).

Part of the reason for this rare occurrence--Harvard has not been eliminated from the championship race before the final game of the year since the 1993-94 season--was that the Crimson once again failed to get the ball to Janowski enough.

Janowski is the best center in the Ivy League, and her stats bear that out. The senior is averaging 11.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per conference game, second in both categories among the league's frontcourt players only to Penn sophomore forward Diana Caramanico, who is far and away the Ancient Eight's best player.

Janowski was also averaging one block per game entering the weekend, good for second overall in the league. But she can play defense by herself.

What makes Janowski's offensive stats more impressive is the fact that her teammates appear unable to give her the ball with regular frequency. Despite shooting over 49 percent from the floor, Janowski only takes 13.5 percent of the Crimson's shots. Harvard's guards, meanwhile, who are the ones responsible for getting the ball to Janowski, take 59 percent of the team's shots.

The Crimson's most accurate shooting guard, junior Courtney Egelhoff, hits 40.4 percent of her attempts, and no other Harvard guard is shooting better than 39 percent. It seems obvious who should be taking more shots.
