In a contest pitting star power and athleticism against depth and tactics, Delaware’s individual talent narrowly edged out Columbia’s blue-collar approach. The Lions fell to the Fightin’ Blue Hens by one point in double overtime despite staging multiple comebacks in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter and first overtime.

Basketball has long been a sport characterized foremost by height, but teams across all levels of the sport are downsizing. Math has overtaken traditional evaluation methods, with a modern emphasis on three-pointers leading teams to prioritize shooting, speed, and ball movement rather than one-on-one scoring closer to the basket.

Following four straight competitive losses to begin the season, men’s basketball came into its first game at home in desperate need of a victory. The Lions got the win they were looking for in dominant fashion, hitting 13 threes in the first half and cruising to a 85-38 win over Division-III St. Joseph’s.

Everyone agrees: He is simply too athletic to keep off the field. Faster than the other quarterbacks, he moved to wide receiver. Tougher than his teammates, he was made captain. More versatile than any other offensive weapon in the Lions’ arsenal, he stepped up when injuries torched the depth chart and led the Lions to victory as receiver, running back, and quarterback—often all at once and often interchangeably.

Football will head to Providence this weekend in an attempt to right the ship. What looked to be a promising season for head coach Al Bagnoli and the Light Blue has been decimated by injury and a tough conference schedule, but the team heads into its final two contests with a chance to end on a high note.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—On the first play from scrimmage, Harvard quarterback Tom Stewart found wide receiver Jack Cook for a 92-yard touchdown pass, setting the tone for a rough Columbia afternoon.

Another week, another game tape analysis. There’s a win to dive into, but in a matchup that saw head coach Al Bagnoli and the Lions (4-3, 1-3 Ivy) outgained 428-160 from scrimmage, there’s an equal amount of good and bad for the Light Blue.

NEW YORK—In a game where there were nearly as many punts, 20, as completed passes, 22, football did just enough to edge past Yale, 17-10, on a rainy day at Wien Stadium. This marked the Light Blue’s first Ivy League victory of the year, avenging last season’s 24-6 defeat to the Bulldogs.

Last weekend’s Homecoming football game against Dartmouth was undeniably disappointing for head coach Al Bagnoli and the Lions.

Football will face a stiff challenge in undefeated Dartmouth, hosting the Big Green in its annual Homecoming game.
