Columbia Lions Men's Basketball Tickets
Columbia Lions Men's Basketball Tickets
Columbia Lions men’s basketball traces its New York City roots to 1901, combining Ivy League intellect with hardwood grit. The program owns conference titles across eras, including the 1968 Ivy League crown, and a postseason trophy with the 2016 CollegeInsider.com Tournament championship. NCAA Tournament appearances have punctuated the timeline, with memorable moments that still echo at Morningside Heights.
Icons such as Jim McMillian, Maodo Lo, and longtime coach Jack Rohan shaped Columbia’s identity, while annual showdowns with Cornell and traditional clashes with Princeton fuel the competitive fire. Home games at Francis S. Levien Gymnasium pack fans close to the action, where the student section roars to the fight song and the atmosphere feels unmistakably New York.
