FINAL: Columbia 106, Fairfield 77
Folks, the Lions are for real. A wire-to-wire drubbing of Fairfield in the Stags home gym. Blair Thompson had 23. Kenny Noland had 20 and 7. Columbia shot 63% from the field.
For Fairfield, a lot of questions arise. Drop to 4-3

A few threes for the Stags -- that one from Estevez gives him 17 points, and Kevin Hovde calls timeout with 7:49 to play. 86-64 Lions

Kenny Noland drills a three and it's a Columbia #killshot. The Lions have scored on seven of their eight possessions thus far, and Chris Casey needs a timeout.

It wasn't a dazzling performance by any means, even Demary, who had a triple double, struggled shooting the ball, but the Huskies get the job done.
UConn held Bryant to 28% from the field and forced 21 turnovers. Won paint battle 40-8

THE DROUGHT IS OVER!!! IT’S A MEN’S BASKETBALL EXACT MEDIA TIMEOUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY 10 MONTHS!!!

An unsuccessful challenge of a backcourt violation down by 27 in the fourth quarter is certainly one way to sum up this game for Syracuse.

We go to the third quarter media timeout with Syracuse trailing Michigan 54-30. Syracuse went to a big lineup with Uche and Akinbolawa together, and the Orange have been better on the glass, but now can't get a stop.
Felisha Legette-Jack needs to spend a LOT of time with this team on the Do's and Don'ts of facing a press and trap.
