Columbia’s résumé is defined by a string of comfortable nonconference wins and a damaging road loss at Connecticut that leaves it short on high-end victories. Road wins at New Haven, Lehigh and Fairfield and a gritty home result against Hofstra show the team can win away from home and in tight spots, but there is no marquee scalp to offset the Connecticut setback. The upcoming portion of the schedule, highlighted by a rugged trip to California and an Ivy League stretch that includes visits to Yale and Harvard along with home dates against Princeton and Penn, hands Columbia clear chances to improve. Performance in those road tests and in the Ivy race will determine whether this resume holds up.
