Was relatively smooth sailing for the Bears until the 7-minute mark, when Nana went out with some sort of leg injury. He is out to start the second half, but looked pretty hobbled when he came back in.
Big 20 minutes to come.

Ugly, but a win. Nana needs to be healthy next week.

It wasn't pretty, but it could've been so much worse. It was 59-59 with 8:30 to go and Kino and Paxson went on a 9-0 run over the next two minutes to put us in position to seal the win. Columbia shot a season best 52% from 3 and we still managed to win, despite playing without our second/third best player for pretty much the entire second half.
We didn't fold down the stretch and now we have a win-and in situation for next Saturday. Hopefully there will be a meeting of the medical minds in Providence this week to ensure Nana is ready to go.

A very gritty road win. Lily (23) and Wojcik (20-8-6) really stepped up in the second half with Nana out. The Bears have worked hard to earned this play-in opportunity next Saturday. I hope they have enough healthy bodies to compete.

We will try.
What a good win. Losing Nana changed the game and Lewis stepped in and stepped up. Kino played through a tough shooting streak. And Wojcik seemed restricted to operating inside but was getting it done. They really were short handed. Then Kino took over the game when he had to and Pax settled us down the stretch.
And with Cornell getting pasted by Yale tonight, Brown now controls its own destiny against a team they have not beat in a long long time. The biggest Brown game in years.

Yes, this game is huge on all accounts. If Yale loses, either Penn or Princeton will win the Ivy title.
