LIU vs Lehigh Prediction
In this LIU vs Lehigh Prediction, LIU is coming as -1.5 road favorites. LIU has been the better team this season, as Lehigh has seven losses in its ten games played, but both teams are coming into this matchup in poor form, as they are 1-3 and 1-4 in their last 4 and 5 games respectively, so I see no value on either side. Lehigh is 4-1 to the over in its last 5 games and LIU’s previous game had a total of 186 points. I expect this one to be a high-scoring affair, so take the over 142.5 points.
