It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Columbia had no problem doing just that on Friday. They snuck past the Lewiston Bengals with a 68-62 victory. The Wildcats have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bengals, too.

Columbia's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Tavin Jones, who went 8-for-10 to rack up 23 points. The dominant performance gave Jones a new career-high in points. Max Keller was another key player, shooting 63% from the field en route to 18 points and five assists.
Columbia is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 15-13 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.0 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Lewiston and nudges their season record down to 20-6.
Columbia didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next game, a 67-55 victory against Middleton on the 8th. Lewiston does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
