Harvard will try to pressure the ball up top, forcing the Big Green out of its game. Without the long-range field goals, Dartmouth usually struggles.

Sullivan emphasized that he wants a solid effort out of his defense.

"We still have not been consistent and tough enough on defense to win in our league," he said.

Junior guard Andrew Gellart could have a field day on defense if the Crimson pressures well enough up top. Averaging three steals per game, he can spark fast breaks by intercepting Dartmouth's passes around the perimeter.

Clemente is no stranger to three-pointers himself--he tied a Harvard record for all-time treys against Colgate last week--and will drive Harvard's offense. He leads the team in scoring and rebounding, with averages of 19.7 ppg and 7.5 rpg.

The Crimson offense has been running well this year, shooting 50.3 percent from the field. Sophomore point guard Elliot Prasse-Freeman has distributed the ball masterfully, averaging 7.2 assists per game, which leads the league and ranks him 13th in the nation.

Turnovers, however, have been a recurring problem and can lose games. Sullivan would like to begin to better the ball-control situation as quickly as possible.
