"Our assist to turnover ratio needs to be turned to a positive number," Sullivan said.

Sullivan is also concerned about Harvard's recent foul troubles. Among the most important statistics from Harvard's game against Colgate last Saturday was the Red Raiders' 27-point edge from the free-throw line.

Harvard needs to be intense on defense without eliciting whistles from the referees.

"[Colgate] made 27 more free throws than us, a tough deficit to overcome without the defensive stops," Sullivan said.

If the Crimson defense does make the same errors against the Big Green, it could fall victim to a Dartmouth team that is coming off its best effort of the season.

Aside from Buth's impressive performance, two juniors have begun to step up their games for Dartmouth. Point guard Flinder Boyd dished out a season-high 10 assists, and forward Mark Kissling registered his second double-double of the year.

As a team, the Big Green shot a season-high 49 percent from the field. The team's poor record is no indication of what this talented team can do.

"They have three legitimate All-Ivy players (sophomore forward Ian McGinnis, Boyd, and Buth)," Sullivan said. "They simply have not shot the ball as well as they have in the past in their early games."
