– Naeve had a very strong game, registering game highs in both points (15) and rebounds (nine) and shooting 6 of 8 from the field. The senior big man also recorded five blocks at the defensive end.

– Baumann was the only Lion in double figures with 13 points, including 3-for-4 shooting from outside the arc.

– Ben Nwachukwu played just 10 ineffective minutes in the first half and went to the bench for good 1:51 into the second half after Andrew Naeve went off for six points on Cornell’s first three possessions after halftime. The junior center was held scoreless in 12 minutes.

– Ryan Wittman had an uncharacteristically poor outside shooting game, going just 1 of 6 from three-point range. The Big Red struggled as a team, shooting just 2 of 16 (12.5 percent) from long range.

– Cornell dominated the glass against perhaps the best rebounding team in the league. The Big Red grabbed 39.3 percent offensively and held the Lions to just 16.1 percent at their end. Bizarrely, second-chance points were even at seven apiece.

– Turnovers were relatively even (18 for Cornell, 16 for Columbia), but the Lions outscored the Big Red 20-12 in points off turnovers.

– The game featured a combined total of just 13 assists against 34 turnovers.

– The two teams will finish up their home-and-home series in Ithaca on Saturday, January 27, at 3:00 pm ET
