Jim Engles is doing a fine job in his first year as Columbia's coach with a 10-9 record after losing four starters from last year's squad. The Lions have won six of their last eight games, including Saturday's 83-78 win over Brown while shooting 55.6 percent from the field. Luke Petrasek scored 18 points with seven rebounds and Mike Smith added 16 points for the Lions, who held Brown to a .414 shooting percentage. Penn is having a disappointing season and has lost seven of its last eight games, including a 1-7 ATS record. The Quakers got blown out 64-49 at home against Princeton on Tuesday while making only three shots from three-point range while the Tigers were 14-of-29 from long range. Darnell Foreman was Penn's leading scorer with only 11 points. Columbia has covered five of its last seven road games and Penn is 0-4 ATS its last four home contests. Play Columbia.
