With game cancellations and postponements across the conference, the Ivy League men’s basketball season has begun unlike any other in recent memory. The typical rowdiness of a college basketball crowd has been replaced by silence as numerous schools have implemented policies limiting or restricting fan attendance. Yale has yet to play an Ancient Eight game due to COVID-19 concerns within its program, while every other team has played at least one.

Friday night was a tale of two halves for Columbia men’s basketball.

Men’s basketball started last week off on a difficult note, losing a tough road matchup against a talented Colgate team.

After snapping a four-game losing streak in Saturday’s 77-66 victory over the University of Maine, the men’s basketball team went upstate on Monday to test its luck against Colgate University, an opponent that had beat Syracuse University 100-85 just over two weeks earlier.

Just two days after a blowout loss at home against Lafayette College, men’s basketball was faced with a tall order.

Monday was a night men’s basketball would like to forget.

Wrapping up a brief two-game road trip, men’s basketball headed to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to take on Atlantic Coast Conference opponent Boston College on Friday.

Looking to improve on a two-game win streak, men’s basketball’s week got off to a lackluster start on Tuesday night.

Thirteen Columbia football players earned All-Ivy honors, according to an Ivy League press release. Three were named to the first team, five were named to the second team, and four were given honorable mentions. Sophomore quarterback Joe Green was also named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year.

Columbia head football coach Al Bagnoli knew that a last-place Cornell squad and its 51 seniors and fifth-years would not go out without a fight.
