Baumann continued on his tear through Ivy League play, averaging 22.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in two road wins vs. Dartmouth and Harvard, marking the first time since 1997-98 that Columbia has won four-straight Ivy League contests.
Baumann had 25 points and nine rebounds at Dartmouth, including a perfect 13-of-13 from the free throw line. In the come-from-behind win versus Harvard, he scored 18 second-half points and added nine second-half rebounds to lead the Lions, finishing with 20 points and 12 boards. He added an assist and three steals against the Crimson in 30 minutes of action.
