...Columbia was able to easily control the ball. On the Lions’ second possession, point guard Brett Loscalzo nailed a three-pointer to start the game’s scoring, a shot that would prove to be a bad sign of things to come for the Crimson. After building a 14-8 lead, Columbia carved out the victory by ripping off a 19-4 run. The Lions hit seven of eight shots during the stretch, including 5-of-5 from long range, to build an insurmountable 33-12 lead. “We came out and we were scorching...

The plan worked for a while, and the city even became known for a winter film festival that attracted stars like Quentin Tarantino (who named a character in Kill Bill after the town).
