The Ospreys have struggled this year, partly due to the absence of Columbia grad Liam Murphy. The West Brighton native missed much of his Columbia career due to injuries, had a nice season last year at North Florida and is now contributing at Purdue. Lions appear to be 4-5 point favorites.
On the contrary, if you believe KenPom, we are supposed to win 87-74, by 13.
Exciting game with Columbia winning 90-82 thanks to great offense by Kenny Noland, Myles Franklin, Blair Thompson and others. The Lions keep improving from game to game and will be even stronger when Avery Brown and Bedri return from their injuries. At the very least, Columbia appears very likely to qualify for the Ivy League Championship Tournament. Indeed, the Lions are already the second ranked team in the Ivy League behind Yale.
