What to Know

Get ready for a Patriot battle as the Lafayette Leopards and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks will face off at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Kirby Sports Center. Lafayette is out to stop a nine-game streak of losses at home.

The game between the Leopards and the Boston University Terriers on Wednesday was not particularly close, with Lafayette falling 76-60.

Meanwhile, Lehigh didn't have too much trouble with the American Eagles at home on Wednesday as they won 78-61.

Lafayette is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in eight of their 13 home games.

Lafayette is now 10-19 while the Mountain Hawks sit at 12-18. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Leopards are stumbling into the contest with the 52nd fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.3 on average. Lehighs have had an even harder time: they are fourth worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
