Lehigh Mountain Hawks Betting Preview

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks lost to Northwestern, and they play Columbia and UCLA next. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks are averaging 46 points on 32.1 percent shooting and allowing 90 points on 54.5 percent shooting. Nasir Whitlock is averaging 11 points and 3 rebounds, while Tyler Whitney-Sidney is averaging 10 points and 1 rebound. Hank Alvey is grabbing 3 rebounds and Keith Higgins Jr. is dishing 2 assists.

Georgetown Hoyas Betting Preview

The Georgetown Hoyas play Fairfield and Notre Dame next. Georgetown won 9 games last season and entered the second year under coach Ed Cooley.

Jayden Epps returns after averaging 18.5 points and 4.2 assists, while Drew Fielder averaged 5.2 points and 3.1 rebounds. Austin Montgomery played in 17 minutes last season, and he’s the only other returning player. Georgetown brings back its best player from last season, but that’s about it in terms of production. Georgetown snagged a few transfers in Micah Peavy from TCU, Jordan Burks from Kentucky, and Curtis Williams Jr. from Louisville. Cooley has his work cut out for him, as Georgetown has won single-digit games in each of its last three seasons.

Why the Georgetown Hoyas will win

• Lehigh has lost each of its last seven road night games against non-conference opponents.
• Georgetown has won each of its last five Wednesday night home games against non-conference opponents.
• Georgetown has won the first half in each of its last four games against the Patriot League.

Lehigh vs Georgetown Prediction

The Georgetown Hoyas are the more talented team, but they lost a ton of production, and it could take time to get rolling. Georgetown returns just three players from last year’s roster. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks had serious offensive issues in its season opener against Northwestern, but it still had a chance to get a game under its belt and knock some rust off. We can’t say the same about the Hoyas, who are breaking in a lot of new faces. Give me Lehigh and the points.
