Stonehill's only Division I game this season ended in an 83-63 loss at Fordham on Thursday, after an opening win over Division III Curry. The Skyhawks went 12-21 a year ago and have turned the roster over since: 11 newcomers, nine of them transfers, plus four new members of the coaching staff. They were picked sixth, in a tie, in the Northeast Conference preseason poll. Columbia's own Division I game was an 84-71 home loss to Elon on November 2, when the Lions made 2 of 9 from three. Its 120-58 win over Division III SUNY Old Westbury says little about this game, so the case rests on the roster. Columbia brings back 11 players from the team that won 16 games last season, with Kevin Hovde in his second year as head coach. That group went 7-0 against non-conference opponents at home. Columbia is the right side on the spread tonight against a roster that is still finding its rotation.
