Just say down at the Pitz, and both Anya and Nadur will not be playing.

Nana put up video game numbers today - 27 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. He also showed signs of a three-point shot, which could be an interesting development moving forward. Landon Lewis continues to deliver as he steps in for Anya and Ndur and was perfect from the free-throw line, which is something I figured I would never type about anyone on this team. Also of note, Cooley scored in the double digits for the second consecutive game - he had a nice dunk, which is hopefully a sign that he's figuring out how to impact the game.
Good to see the Bears come out and have their best offensive performance of the season. Three straight on the road to come, all against Ivy Madness contenders - I think the young guys have at least one surprise win in them, looking forward to see how this team develops during their travels.

The loss of Anya and Nadur didn’t matter. With those two forwards missing, and to prevent Nana from getting into foul trouble, Martin turned to race horse basketball (97 to 85 final), and the Bears responded with what may have been their best effort of the season. Nana lead the way with a line of 27-18-3ast-1st-2blk. Awesome effort! 5 others in double figures. No idea when Anya and Nadur may return. But Martin and his staff have the Bears playing some great basketball as we approach the mid-point of the league season.

Glad to see them pull away from a game but young Columbia squad. Obviously Nana was an absolute beast. But everybody had offensive success. Lewis held his own and didn’t get the memo on free throws.
Not a good defensive game - CU put up points despite missing a number of open shots. They do have some young talent and their 6’10 freshman center looks like he’ll be a player.

A real team win, 9 played 7+ minutes, 6 in double figures. Given the 2 who couldn't play, this speaks well for the future.
