"Brown and Yale are more conducive to good games for us," Sullivan said. "They don't pressure us like these teams to do."
Overcoming pressure means a lot of passing, something the Crimson is not particularly good at. Remember: 47 turnovers.
"We don't have people who can put the ball on the floor," Sullivan said. "That's a big problem for us."
The other big problem is the offensive set-up. The Crimson likes to score its points down low. Teams realize this, and routinely double-and triple-team post players, even at the cost of a perimeter jumper. So far, the Crimson has not beaten anybody from the perimeter, and is unlikely to do so in the near future.
The schedule, thankfully, eases up: Cornell and Columbia at home, and Yale and Brown on the road. Harvard has been strong at home this year, and the team has already beaten Yale and Brown.
Then, there's the best news of all: two weeks from now, this nightmare season will be all over.
