Notes
– Lincoln Gunn and Mike Strittmatter tied for game high-scoring honors with 13 points each, combining to go 6-for-11 from behind the arc.
– Columbia’s offensive attack was remarkably balanced, with Montgomery (11), Foley (11), Nwachukwu (11), and Baumann (10) all in double figures, and Scott not far behind with nine.
– Though some of free throw disparity was the result of late fouling, the Lions shot 20 free throws to just eight for the Tigers, with the hosts owning a 15-6 edge in points at the line.
– Princeton attempted 24 of its 46 shots from beyond the arc, knocking down eight for 33.3-percent three-point shooting. Conversely, Columbia opted to go inside, attempting just eight of 33 from long range and hitting five (62.5 percent). Interestingly, scoring in the paint was even with 26 for each side.
– Kyle Koncz went scoreless on the night, missing all six of his three-point attempts.
– The game was relatively free of turnovers, as Princeton (eight) was slightly better in that department than Columbia (10).
– The Lions will welcome Penn (8-6, 1-0 Ivy) to Levien Gym on Saturday, January 13, at 7:00 pm ET. The battle between Ivy unbeatens will be televised on SNY in the tri-state area and on CN8 in the Mid-Atlantic region. Princeton heads to Ithaca to face Cornell (7-8, 0-1 Ivy) in crucial game for both teams.
