Pick
I’m leaning towards Lehigh here but probably not rushing to the window to bet this thing. Both of these teams are struggling right now, but it’s Lehigh that’s owned the bulk of the recent success between the two and I don’t see enough from Bucknell here to think that’s suddenly going to change in this game. The line isn’t too crazy so give me Lehigh here.
