Jerry Recco (play-by-play) ................................ Dalen Cuff ‘06 (color) COLUMBIA BEGINS THE 2010-11 SEASON UNDER NEW HEAD MAN KYLE SMITH In May, Kyle Smith was hired as Columbia’s 22nd head men’s basketball coach, seeking to steer the Lions towards the top of the Ivy League. Smith was the associate head coach at St. Mary’s, which reached the Sweet 16 at the 2010 NCAA Tournament and defeated 10th-seeded Richmond and second-seeded Villanova in the Big Dance. Smith is an 18-year coaching veteran, having made stops at San Diego and Air Force during his career path. MANY POSITIVE RETURNS For Columbia, 13 letterwinners return from last year’s squad which finished 11-17 and 5-9 in the Ivy League. Among the group is All-Ivy League and All-Metropolitan area guard Noruwa Agho, who averaged 16.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game as a sophomore in 2009-10. NOT TOO LONG AGO Columbia’s Noruwa Agho is among the top returning players in the Ivy League after a superb sophomore season. Agho made 44.6 percent of his three-point shots and ranked second on the team in assists and led the team in steals. A dynamic twoway player, Agho is the second leading returning scorer in the Ivy League. OPENING DISH Columbia enters Friday’s game with a record of 74-35 all-time in season openers. Last season, the Lions began the season on the road at DePaul and hung tough with the Blue Demons in a hard-fought opener. DePaul eventually came out on top, 59-53, behind 19 points and 12 rebounds from Mac Koshwal. Brian Grimes had 13 points and 11 rebounds in his first game with the Lions. THE LIFE OF BRIAN Columbia senior forward Brian Grimes will meet his former team as Grimes played his freshman season with the Explorers before transferring to Columbia in 2007. Despite rehabbing from an injury for most of last season, Grimes averaged 7.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for Columbia in 2009-10. TENACIOUS D Columbia will look to remain tough on defense, as it has been for a large part of the past four seasons. In every season since 2006-07, Columbia has finished among the top three in the Ivy League in scoring defense and looks to continue that trend in 2010-11.

Columbia’s large number of steals helped it rank among the league’s best defensive teams. TURNOVER A NEW LEAF The Lions were one of four Ivy League teams last year to record a fewer turnovers than their opponents. Columbia had a +0.2 turnover margin, good for third in the league. ONE FOR THE BOOKS Last season, Noruwa Agho had a tremendous season, scoring 455 points, which ranks among the top 15 for a Columbia player in a single season. Agho also made 58 three-pointers last season, which ranked ninth all-time in a single season. Agho is also closing in on the top ten in career marks of three-pointers made and steals. He ranks 17th all-time in both categories after his first two seasons. IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA Columbia will open up its season in Philadelphia, the hometown of two Lions – Brian Grimes and Steve Egee. Columbia has won its last two games in Philadelphia, defeating Penn in each of the last two years at the Palestra. THE HISTORY NOTE Columbia and La Salle met in the Lions’ last NCAA Tournament appearance in 1968. On March 9 of that year, the Lions defeated the Explorers 83-69 behind Jim McMillian and Dave Newmark, who led the Lions to their most recent Ivy League title that season. After defeating La Salle, Columbia lost to Davidson 61-59 in North Carolina, but concluded its 23-5 season with a 95-75 victory over St. Bonaventure in the consolation game. COLUMBIA VS. THE ATLANTIC 10 Two seasons ago, Columbia opened its season on the road against an Atlantic 10 team. On November 14, 2008, the Lions went into Rose Hill Gym and defeated Fordham, 65-62, to start the 200809 season. Patrick Foley led the Lions with 18 points and five rebounds. Asenso Ampim (15 points, 14 rebounds) and Jason Miller (13 points, 15 rebounds) each posted double-doubles in the winning effort. WHO COULD IT BE NOW? Columbia has had a first-year player named Ivy League Rookie of the Week at least once in each of the last four seasons. 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 Patrick Foley Asenso Ampim Noruwa Agho Mark Cisco gocolumbialions.com/mensbasketball February 12, 2007 February 25, 2008 January 5, 2009 January 26, 2009 February 16, 2009 December 28, 2009 COLUMBIA ACROSS THE COUNTRY Of the 18 players on Columbia’s varsity roster, 12 different states and two foreign countries are represented. The Lions have players from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and California with two student-athletes representing Ghana and Canada. NEW COACHING STAFF The Lions have a number of new faces on the bench aside from first-year head man Kyle Smith. Joining Smith on the coaching staff is associate head coach Carlin Hartman, a 14-year coaching veteran, who most recently was an assistant at James Madison. Koby Altman also joins Smith’s staff after a season at Southern Illinois. Mike Magpayo is the team’s new director of basketball operations after he coached high school basketball for 10 years in southern California. The lone holdover on the staff is Michael Murphy, who is now in his third season at Columbia. MILLER, BULGER, SCOTT OVERSEAS Columbia has three recent alumni who are playing basketball overseas in Jason Miller ‘09CC, Kevin Bulger ‘10CC and Niko Scott ‘10CC. Miller has played with the Southwest Slammers in Australia, while Bulger is taking the court with the Durham Wildcats of the English Basketball League and Scott is playing with the Reading Rockets in the English Basketball League.

Smith, who is an 18-year veteran assistant coach at the NCAA Division I level, had worked as the associate head men’s basketball coach at St. Mary’s College (Ca.) of the West Coast Conference (WCC), for the past nine seasons. At St. Mary’s, he played an integral role in building their successful men’s basketball program. In 2009-10, the Gaels finished 28-6 and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. “Columbia University is very proud and excited to name Kyle Smith as our head men’s basketball coach” said Dr. Murphy. “Kyle is an outstanding leader and successful recruiter with a terrific basketball mind. We are thrilled to welcome him to Columbia.” Smith replaced Joe Jones, who left Columbia after seven seasons (86108, 39-59 Ivy League) to become the associate head men’s basketball coach at Boston College of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). “I am very excited to be the next head men’s basketball coach at Columbia, one of the nation’s premier universities,” says Smith. “I am very grateful to Dr. M. Dianne Murphy and President Lee C. Bollinger for this tremendous opportunity. I look forward to the challenge of building an Ivy League championship men’s basketball program at Columbia.” two games in the previous season. Over the past three years, the school has won 81 games. As the associate head coach of the Gaels, he was responsible for running the team’s offense, and coordinating all recruiting activities. He was a vital component of the coaching staff that saw the Gaels ascend into the Top 25 in 2010. Before coming to Saint Mary’s, Smith spent one season as the top assistant at the Air Force Academy. During his only season with the Falcons, Smith served as the offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator and helped with player development and scouting. Before joining the Academy, Smith served an eight-year stint at the University of San Diego from 1992-2000. During his time at San Diego, Smith helped lead the team to the second most victories in school history from 1999-2001. As the Asso ciate Head Coach, Smith helped guide a Torero defense led the West Coast Conference in fewest points allowed (62.6 ppg) and was also ranked among the top 20 in the country in rebounding margin in 2001. Smith is a 1992 graduate of Hamilton College, where he played basketball, and helped lead the Continentals to a 26-1 record and a #1 ranking in NCAA Division III during his junior season. He holds a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of San Diego, where he began his coaching career. He and his wife, Katie, have two sons, Rocco and Bo.
