Lehigh vs Rutgers Prediction
Rutgers comes into this matchup only shooting 42.1% from the field this season, but they have played excellent defense in their first two games. The Scarlet Knights have allowed 60 and 53 points and should have another strong outing here, as Lehigh has scored 47 and 57 points in their two D-1 games this year. The Mountain Hawks have also been solid on the defensive end of the court against West Virginia and Houston, so I think we will see a lower scoring game here. Take the under in this game.
