Navy vs Lehigh Prediction
I’m not excited to get involved in this game, and you can make a case for Navy given three straight covers. I’m still laying the bucket with Lehigh if forced to pick. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks are at home where six of their seven wins have come, and they’re catching a Navy team on the road where it’s 2-8 SU. Lehigh is coming off a nice feel-good win over Lafayette that ended a losing streak, and Navy just isn’t scaring anybody with an offense that shoots 42 percent from the field. Both teams are below average in the Patriot, and we’re only laying a bucket. I’ll side with Lehigh because of home court if forced to pick. However, there are much better options on Wednesday’s college basketball card.
