McMillian, currently tied for second in League scoring with a 19.5 points per game average, also excells on defense. In the Lion's most recent outing, against Yale, he held Eli captain Thatcher Shellby scoreless as Columbia went on to a 69-48 romp. McMillian is also the Lion's top rebounder, clearing the boards 137 times in their first 14 games...
