Short Preview

In an upcoming NCAA college basketball clash, Cornell Big Red will face off against Columbia Lions at home on January 5, 2026. With Cornell winning only 1 of their last 5 matches and Columbia securing victories in 3 of their last 5 games, both teams will be looking to improve their records in this highly anticipated matchup.
