NEW YORK — Team update: The senior shooting guard helped the Columbia University men's basketball team record back-to-back home victories over Yale and Brown last week. It was the Lions' first sweep over those schools since 2004.

With 10 regular-season games remaining, including road games against Pennsylvania and Princeton this weekend, Columbia (7-11, 2-2) is in the thick of things in the race to be the Ivy League champion.

Matsui, the team's resident 3-point shooting specialist (25-for-81) has helped the Lions, who have only three seniors, remain a competitive team during this transition season for the program.
