In response to AntiUngvar
Columbia played very well against Rutgers for the first half of the game, shooting wonderfully from the outside, against a much taller and more athletic Rutgers team. The Lions also fought gallantly for most of the second half, but couldn't stop Rutgers from taking over the offensive boards and eventually winning the game in overtime.. Also, the Scarlet Knights exposed the Lions ball handling problems without Mike Smith as Columbia simply does not have anyone else who can dribble the ball up court against pressure. Stef has issues, Davis has issues, etc. Don't we have a Division I quality ballhandler on our guard filled roster? Still, the LIons made a game of it, and took a big, athletic team to overtime, which was better than anyone could reasonably have expected. Congrats to our man, AntiU, for almost picking the long shot Derby winner. Certainly, the players are making progress, so maybe the Lions will be competitive after all in the Ivy League. Incidentally, someone has to do the following: (1) Tell Adlesh who is great outside shooter, except from the side of the court, to avoid shooting threes from the side; (2) Teach the players to set up an occasional screen for Adlesh and Killingsworth; (3) Teach Brumant to operate very close to the basket and avoid the temptation of shooting threes from the outside. My opinion is Brumant is a very talented player who needs to score in double digits for us..
