Winless M. Cagers Face Tough Big East Foe in B.C.

Chuck Penn of Lehigh scored 21 points. Mark Daly of Boston University tallied 26. And most recently, Bill Walker of Holy Cross racked up 24 points.

Abram has averaged only 13 points per game, but if history repeats itself for the Crimson, he will be in for a big game. Guards Jared Leake, Matt McClain, and James White need to step up its defensive play and squash its shooting guard syndrome.

Lack of Depth

B.C.'s major problem is its depth. The Eagles carry five freshmen on their bench, but generally stick to its eight-man rotation.

Cory Jackson, a 6'8" forward, is the main contributer off the bench. His five rebounds per game add to the Eagles already potent inside game.

Freshman guard Mark Molinsky averages over 10 points while shooting 67 percent from the field and, amazingly, 67 percent from three-point land.

"We make up for our depth with chemistry, unselfish play, and talented players," O'Brien said.

Harvard will need to cut down on poor zone coverage and costly mental lapses of past games if it is to stay with Eagles.

If the Crimson can cut down on its mental errors and get big games from Mitchell and Rullman, Harvard could pull off an upset.
