What to Know

We've got another exciting Patriot matchup on schedule as the Lehigh Mountain Hawks and the Holy Cross Crusaders are set to tip at 12:00 p.m. ET on January 27th at Hart Center Arena. Lehigh has insisted on making their lastfour contests complete nail-biters, turning in a record of 1-3 during that stretch of close contests.

Last Monday, the Mountain Hawks didn't have quite enough to beat the Raiders and fell 60-57. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Lehigh has scored all season.

Meanwhile, the Crusaders suffered a grim 84-65 defeat to the Eagles on Wednesday.

Holy Cross struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only four offensive rebounds. They are 1-3 when they can't control their own glass like that.

The Mountain Hawks have been struggling recently, as they've lost four of their last five contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-13 record this season. As for the Crusaders, their loss dropped their record down to 5-15.

Looking ahead to Saturday, Lehigh is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 4.5 points. They have not treated fans well this season (a 5-13 ensrues that), but at least they enjoy a 10-6 record against the spread.

Lehigh couldn't quite finish off Holy Cross in their previous matchup two weeks ago and fell 69-66. Can Lehigh avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
