ITHACA, N.Y.— At halftime, Columbia leads the Big Red, 34-31. The Lions had trouble dealing with the Cornell press early on, as the Big Red captured an early lead. But Columbia bounced back, as sophomore guard Steve Frankoski hit a couple big threes. Senior forward John Daniels was also a big factor for the Light Blue in the first half, providing a spark with his hustle. Daniels grabbed some big rebounds, took a charge, and contributed a pair of field goals, one of which was a dunk.
Whether or not the Lions can maintain their lead in the second half may depend in large part depend on their ability to keep making threes. Almost half of Columbia's points have come from beyond the arc.
