I appreciate P being picked first in the M and W polls, but I think these polls tend to skew at the top in favor of last year’s leaders. Plus the impact of transfers out and into the League is difficult to fully measure. The P men do not have a returning center, at least one with more than minimal experience, and it remains to be seen if one develops. The P women have lost a star and supporting cast in previous years and still won the title or co- title and the automatic NCAA bid the following year. This year, we lose 2 stars and supporting cast, 3 who started at the end of the season. If we win the League or automatic bid, that will be a great job by players and staff.

The Ivy League will host an online media day next Thursday, Oct 17.

The host will be Lance Medow. Of the various local broadcasting teams which do play-by-play and color on ESPN+, I think he's the best. He's an asset for Columbia basketball.

Columbia used to have a guy do a mid-game week interview with Bagnoli when he was still HC at Penn. He was outstanding. While the interviews were never on the same level of entertainment and directness as listening to Carril, they were entertaining and worth listening to. One year, when Hughes was our HC, he said “they’re playing harder this year” in reference to P. Think about that one. The other thing I remember him saying was a comment on what made Villanova such a difficult opponent: not size but explosiveness.
