Clemente's season-ending injury makes an already small Harvard squad even smaller. Lack of size plagued Harvard even when Clemente was healthy, but his absence only exacerbates the problem, as the Crimson will be without one of its biggest bodies.
Junior Tim Coleman, a 6'8 center, and 6'6 freshman forward Sam Winter will be among those who will see increased minutes. Both started in Saturday's loss to Colgate, but both also struggled, combining to connect on just 4-of-20 shots.
Gellert's counterpart in the backcourt, freshman point guard Elliot Prasse-Freeman, will be back in action tonight after sustaining an eye injury on Saturday and being forced to leave the game.
He will be one of several young Crimson players who will be forced to assume new responsibilities quickly in Clemente's absence.
Becoming accustomed to life without Clemente--the seventh-leading scorer in the nation before he went down--will undoubtedly take time, as many players will need to reexamine their offensive roles.
