Loyola (MD) vs Lehigh Prediction

You can make an argument the Loyola (MD) Greyhounds are the better team, and they're probably playing the better ball, but I'll lean toward Lehigh at home. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks have seen five of their six wins come at home, and if they're going to win another game anytime soon, it would be here. Riding a four-game losing streak, Lehigh needs to stop the bleeding against a subpar Loyola (MD) squad. The Loyola (MD) Greyhounds just lost by 19 points to American as a favorite. Not the best game on a loaded Saturday card, but I'm laying the bucket with Lehigh at home if forced to pick.
