The men's basketball team plays Haverford in its home opener tonight. The game is the first of the year for Haverford and the second for Columbia. Head coach Kyle Smith and the players said they were pleased with the team's season-opening performance on Saturday, a 68-47 win at Furman. Although the Lions were not planning on playing a Division III team this year, they were dropped by Fairleigh Dickinson and could not find a replacement opponent in Division I, and so turned to Division III.
The Lions last played a Division III team last year, beating Swarthmore 104-42.
As long as the Lions execute their game plan reasonably well, they should get a good result. You can see our three keys after the jump and follow the action on Twitter @CUSpecSports.
