The Lafayette Leopards and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks meet in college basketball action from Stabler Arena on Sunday evening.

The Lafayette Leopards will look to sweep the double-header with Lehigh after a 76-59 win over Lafayette last time out. Justin Jaworski leads the Leopards in scoring with 21 9 PPG while E.J. Stephens has 16.5 PPG and 4.7 RPG and Neal Quinn has 10.3 PPG with 5.4 RPG and 4.2 APG to lead Lafayette on the boards and in assists. As a team, Lafayette is averaging 77.7 PPG on 43.3% shooting from the field and 35.3% from the foul line while allowing 76 PPG on 45.8% shooting from the field and 31.1% from the three point line this season.

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks will look to salvage a split with Lafayette after losing the first matchup between the two last time out. Marques Wilson leads the Mountain Hawks in scoring with 15.4 PPG while also putting up a team-high 2.7 APG while Nic Lynch has 13.5 PPG and 4.6 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Lehigh up to this point in the season. Evan Taylor also has 9 PPG and a team-high 7.7 RPG for Lehigh this season. As a team, Lehigh is averaging 69 PPG on 43.8% shooting from the field and 30.2% from the foul line while allowing 77.6 PPG on 46.5% shooting from the field and 35.8% from three this season.

Lafayette is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the under is 9-2 in their last 11 games following an ATS loss. Lehigh is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.

I get that laying points on the road isn’t ideal, and that Lafayette’s had some hiccups lately. However, the Leopards have also been pretty good on the road while Lehigh couldn’t even cover themselves with a sheet getting into bed let alone a point spread at home. Maybe something changes on senior day, but I look for a repeat win, cover and sweep for Lafayette here. Lay the points.
