The Lehigh Mountain Hawks and the Yale Bulldogs meet in college basketball action from John J. Lee Amphitheater on Wednesday night.

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks will be looking to bounce back from a 79-68 loss to Saint Francis PA last time out. Jeameril Wilson leads Lehigh in scoring with 12.6 PPG with 49 RPG while Evan Taylor has 10.7 PPG with 5.4 RPG and Marques Wilson has 10.1 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Lehigh so far this season. Dominic Parolin has a team-high 8 RPG as well and Ben Knostman has a team-high 2.7 APG as well this season. As a team, Lehigh is averaging 62.3 PPG on 41.41.2% shooting from the field, 31.5% from three and 72.6% from the foul line while allowing 71.1 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field and 39.2% from three this season.

The Yale Bulldogs will try to rebound from an 85-81 loss to Stony Brook last time out. Azar Swain leads Yale in scoring with 18.4 PPG with 4.6 RPG as well while Matthue Cotton has 11.8 PPG with 3.9 RPG and Jalen Gabbidon and EJ Jarvis each have 10+ PPG as well this season with Gabbidon posting a team-high 5.4 RPG. Eze Dike also has 2 APG as well for Yale this season. As a team, Yale is averaging 74.1 PPG on 43.3% shooting from the field, 31.4% from three and 72.6% from the foul line while allowing 67.1 PPG on 40.1% shooting from the field and 32.7% from three this season.

Lehigh is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS loss and 18-37 ATS in their last 55 games overall while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a double-digit home loss. Yale is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 home games.

I get why Yale would be favored at home, but the Bulldogs haven’t been convincing enough even at home to consider laying the points here. Lehigh’s had struggles of their own, but both sides are dropping games so I’m not laying double-digits with Yale in that regard. Give me Lehigh and the points here.
