Columbia Wins At Cornell
There are 154 college basketball games today, which is awesome. The tricky part is that most of the New York schools played on the road this afternoon. Later I’ll have a full recap of the LIU Brooklyn – Monmouth game and cover the entire day in NEC basketball, but here are three other tough road games local teams faced today.

10,000 Sims: Drexel’s Loss is George Mason’s Gain

Preview: LIU vs. Hofstra
Hofstra goes on the road for the first time since its season was sent spiraling on Saturday at LIU Brooklyn. The Blackbirds are 2-4, but have won their past two games and are once again starting to look like a contender in the NEC. LIU also hopes to get Kenny Onyechi and Booker Hucks back for this game. Is it possible that Hofstra could have Jamal Coombs-McDaniel? It sure would help.
