NEW YORK CITY — Men’s basketball sophomore Louis Dale was the first to be introduced in the Red’s starting lineup during its game at Columbia last Saturday night. As soon as his name was read over the loud speaker, a chant went up from the audience.
“Columbia re-ject.”
“Col-gate re-ject,” was what junior Alex Tyler heard next. Each starter heard something similar.
When the game actually started, though, it was the Columbia offense that was rejected time and time again. The Red held the Lions scoreless for the first six minutes of the ballgame on its way to a 72-54 win.
