Few of the season’s games are going to come easy, and neither might tonight’s. I’m not sure HOW they are doing it, but Columbia has been defensively effective all season. The Lions may not have the wins to show for it, but any team that can play at a generally fast pace but keep their opponent below 65 points in each game has some level of defensive cohesiveness and stubbornness.
Expect few run outs, watch the Red Storm’s offensive rebounding, and see how the Johnnies attack zones and stout defensive sets.
Do they end up using too much of the shot clock?
