Harvard Coach Frank Sullivan knows that the team goes to Mitchell too much and purposely designs plays designed to go away from Mitchell. Against B.U., Rullman was wide open on the wing for the winning shot.
Tuesday night, Sullivan designed the play to go to either Peter Condakes, Eric Carter or Mitchell. Condakes and Carter were both having better nights offensivley, but Rullman played right into the Wildcats' hands and went to Mitchell.
It is a measure of respect for his talents. Mitchell is unquestionably. The Man. For Harvard to succeed, though, someone else has to step up and take some of the pressure off his shoulders.
Rullman has yet to take over a game the way he has potential to. Instead, he keeps the Crimson in the running until the final seconds, when Mitchell is supposed to take over.
This would be fine, except everybody knows the ball is going to Mitchell. The Crimson needs to have another go-to gun that it can rely on. It cannot win using Mitchell as a clutch crutch.
