American @ Lehigh

Current Records: American 8-20; Lehigh 10-18

What to Know

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks are 11-1 against the American Eagles since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. The Mountain Hawks and American will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET at Stabler Arena. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting could be a low-scoring affair.

Lehigh found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 69-42 punch to the gut against the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Eagles ended up a good deal behind the Colgate Raiders when they played on Monday, losing 63-49. Guard Colin Smalls had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 32 minutes with and four turnovers.

Lehigh is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-7 against the spread when favored.

Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
