The Lions are coming off of one of the best seasons in recent memory, as Columbia was able to go 10-4 in the conference and racked up a 25-10 record overall.

It won't be easy to duplicate the success from 2015-2016, but the Lions also have another well-rounded and promising roster that could be one of the teams to beat in the conference this season. If the Lions can defend their home court and notch some exciting away victories like they did a year ago, anything can happen as Columbia takes aim at the NCAA Tournament.

This is a team that has also made a few different NCAA Tournament appearances, including a 1967-1968 team that shot its way all the way to the Sweet Sixteen in one of Columbia's best overall seasons. More recently, Columbia has been back on the rise in the Ivy League and fans are believing that the next NCAA Tournament trip is right around the corner as the Lions head into another exciting chapter of team history.
