Kenpom has it as a 1 point Columbia victory.

Cornell is going to need to step it up on defense. In 3 league games, they are letting teams shoot 55% from two and 44% from three. While they will bring those numbers down, how low, ultimately, is the big question.

The offense was fine during non-conference, but it has taken a nosedive over the first two weeks of play. They are averaging 73.8 points for the season, but only 59 in the first 3 conference games.

There are only two double-digits scorers (Morgan at 16.3 and Gettings with 11.3). After that it is McBride at 6.0, Julian at 5.0, Warren with 4.7 and Davis at 4.7.

To win, I think Morgan and Gettings are going to, both, have to put up a lot of points. The team is also going to have to get to the free throw line a bunch (and make them). They are also going to have to force Columbia to play inside the arc. If they can't do that, then they have to hope that the Lions just have a bad afternoon from three.

Not impossible, especially if the Big Red put last Saturday's horrible game and long bus trip back to Ithaca behind them.
