Columbia vs Lehigh Prediction

Columbia has been the more impressive team against better competition this season and is 3-0-1 ATS on the season. However, Columbia doesn’t shoot the ball well enough to pull away from teams, and this Lehigh defense has shown some things out of the gate. Lehigh is also unbeaten at home through two games. Neither team is explosive offensively so I expect a low scoring tight game where either side could win in the final minutes. I’ll grab the free bucket with Lehigh at home.
