G&BI's point about good coaching is to the point - the Columbia men played hard all the way through, too, against Brown and were rewarded for it. However, their so-called fans care only to dissect the coach's post-game demeanor and remarks. Interesting how some folks seem to get over-the-top credit in victory; while others get more grief following wins than losses!?!?!

Interesting, too, that the Brown grad with the ever-present Brooklyn accent made his mark, both memorable and ignominious, in the Keystone State. Interesting because the Columbia men's basketball team traveled to Pennsylvania early in the current season and took down Villanova by ten points.

That was noteworthy at the time; and brought to mind last night in a bigger way when that Villanova team defeated eighth, nationally-ranked, St. John's, in the same Finneran Pavilion in Villanova,Pa. Of course, this is, in no manner, saying there a nationally-ranked men's basketball team on Morningside Heights; but, as our Brown contingent suggests, there may be some actual coaching taking place with the Columbia men as we more readily acknowledge as related to the Columbia women.
