Columbia breaks out to a an early lead with Hickman leading the way with five points, but the Lion coaching staff pulls a "Joe Jones" and quickly removes four of the five starters which results in three minute + stint where the Lions don't score a single point. Fortunately, the Lion coaching staff realizes what's happening and puts the starting five back in and Hickman and Adlesh begin scoring again right away, but now the LIons' lead is down to three points, 25-22. Penn is having a miserable night shooting threes, but they are going inside now resulting in Tape incurring two personal fouls. If Penn starts hitting threes we are in trouble. On the other hand, If Meisner and Adlesh get hot, or if we vigorously attack the basket, we could win this game. Hickman has made a couple of sloppy turnovers in the last ninety seconds of the first half--vintage Hickman. However, he just redeemed himself by sinking two free throws. Goodman is keeping Penn in the game with career high 15 points off the bench in first half. And Goodman sinks a long three at the half for a career high of 18. Obviously, Columbia needs to make an adjustment at halftime to stop Goodman. Lions are up by three. It's a shame we are only up by three points given that Penn looked lousy in the first half and we would have been way ahead if we had keep our hot shooters on the floor.
