Who's Playing
Columbia @ Brown
Current Records: Columbia 4-20; Brown 12-15
What to Know
The Brown Bears' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Columbia Lions at 6 p.m. ET Feb. 26 at Paul Bailey Pizzitola Sports Center.
Brown lost a heartbreaker to the Pennsylvania Quakers when they met last month, and they left with a heavy heart again on Saturday. The Bears were just a bucket shy of a win and fell 89-88 to UPenn. The contest was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Brown had been the slight favorite coming in.
Meanwhile, Columbia was expected to have a tough go of it on Saturday, and that's exactly how things played out. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 79-50 punch to the gut against the Dartmouth Big Green.
This next matchup looks promising for Brown, who are favored by a full 16.5 points. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in eight of their 12 home games.
Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
