I'm starting to like Dylan Cardwell. Please give this a listen! "In college I averaged 5 points per game, I rebounded the ball five times per game, I averaged like 1.6 blocks per game. No one thought I was an NBA player. I'm not supposed to be here. I'm living my childhood dream. This is a dream come true for me" "We might not be having a great season, but this is the best locker room I've really been a part outside of my last year at Auburn. I really appreciate being on this team and being in this locker room"

There might not be a more experienced roster in mid-major basketball than Columbia. Kevin Hovde did an outstanding job retaining starters from last season, which if you remember, they beat Villanova and showed flashes of being an elite bunch. Add in good freshmen & transfers 👀

@HamptonSanders0 is a junior guard for @CULionsMBB thecannonnetwork.com #basketball #TheCannonNetwork

@daves_joint @nyumenshoops @CULionsMBB appreciate you!

A great way to come up in the transfer portal. Look out for former @nyumenshoops guard @HamptonSanders0 at @CULionsMBB.
