BY Lucas Metzger January 17 So far, the Columbia Lions men’s basketball team has not had quite the season they were hoping for. Currently last in the Ivy League, the Light Blue has gone 6-14 and suffered some heartbreaking losses along the way. One such loss came against Binghamton University, when the defense scored 6 points in 5 seconds late in the game to beat the Lions 81-79. However, that does not mean the Lions have not enjoyed some great moments. Highlights of the season thus far include beating reigning 2022 Ivy League champion Yale, scoring 106 points against Sarah Lawrence College, and putting up a strong fight against former March Madness #4 seed Providence College. Moments like these were propelled by the team playing their heart out, and underlying such successes were the efforts of several key contributors who have provided glimmers of hope in an otherwise underwhelming season to date. Here are seven players to watch out for as the Lions hope to turn their season around.
