McMillian was an All-American and three-time All-League player, but his impact on Columbia basketball was unprecedented. In his three seasons, he scored more than 1,700 points and led the Lions to 20-victory seasons in each campaign. In fact, Columbia lost just 14 times in his career and was nationally ranked as high as sixth. That came during his sophomore season when his Lions won their only Ivy title since the official formation of the League.
