NEW YORK – On Friday night, Maodo Lo showed his class.
Unfortunately, the rest of his teammates didn’t show up until Saturday.
The Columbia Lions fell to Yale in a heartbreaker, 63-59, on Friday night, as Lo put up 20 points on 6-for-8 shooting from long range but didn’t get much help from the rest of the squad. The full team came to play on Saturday, using a late 22-4 run to blow the Brown Bears out of the building, 86-65. It was Columbia’s largest margin of win in Ivy play in 11 years, but that’s little consolation for the disappointing loss on Friday night.
After four games, the Lions are 2-2 in Ivy play.
