After a nail-biter of a victory against Stony Brook, Columbia men's basketball kept their unbeaten home record in tact. Would the 4-3 Wagner Seahawks be the first team to put a "1" in the Lions' L column?

Columbia demonstrated no fatigue from the Stony Brook game three days earlier and would put up 11 points before their opponents scored a basket. John Daniels had nine rebounds in the game and was a major contributor in a big scoring day where three of his teammates reached the double-digit points total.

Wagner woke up in the second half, led by a 24 point scoring surge from Chris Martin, and narrowed the seemingly insurmountable gap to four points.

Columbia refused to relinquish the lead. As time started to dwindle, Wagner would resort to fouling the Lions in order to stop the game clock. However, Columbia's steely free throw shooting foiled this plan.

With a few ticks left on the clock, Aseno Ampim would punctuate the inevitable victory with his signature shot.

On Saturday, Columbia would meet a stern challenge in the Bryant Bulldogs. Losing by three points with 25 seconds left, Ampim had a critical blocked shot, and free throws by Steve Frankowski and Noruwa Agho sealed the victory 76-72. Columbia's record now improves to 6-4, and 5-0 at home.
