– Flato and Caleb Holmes tied for high-scoring honors for Yale with 15 points apiece.
– Columbia managed to rebound at 43.5 percent offensively against the nation’s best defensive rebounding team — while limiting Yale to just 25.0 percent at its offensive end. The Lions owned a 13-5 edge in second-chance points.
– Turnovers were relatively even — 10 for Columbia, 11 for Yale — but the visitors outscored their hosts 16-9 in points off turnovers.
– Columbia coach Joe Jones was assessed a technical foul in the first half after a foul call on Jason Miller on a Caleb Holmes bucket. Holmes hit all three free throws for a five-point possession.
– The win was just the second for Joe Jones in eight career games against his brother.
– Columbia will look keep its chances at a .500 Ivy season alive when it hosts Dartmouth (9-16, 4-8 Ivy) on Friday, March 2, at 7:00 pm ET. Yale will try to stay mathematically alive when it takes on Ivy leader Penn (19-8, 10-1 Ivy) in Philadelphia.
