    In response to Columbia 37P6

It is a fair review, with the one major proviso that all such reviews have, i.e., that no one knows to what extent the rest of the season reflects current vs. past performance. As just one example, Columbia now has four players who are averaging 10 or more ppg--Smith, Adlesh, Meisner, and Castlin. Of course, some of our defensive issues remain, in particular, the much referenced trade-off between Smith and Adlesh's offensive strengths and defensive liabilities as short guards. But other signs such as Tape now averaging 3 OR per IL contest, and perhaps more informally, the eyeball test suggesting a greater intensity, point to a better defense going forward.

KP gives us just a mid-30ish% chance of defeating both Yale and Brown away this weekend. Earlier this season, Columbia without Castlin could not beat Yale and Brown. With him and the other improvements, we might be able to.
