Who's Playing

Albany @ Lehigh

Current Records: Albany 3-8; Lehigh 1-8

What to Know

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Albany Great Danes at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 21 at Stabler Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Mountain Hawks were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap two weeks ago as they fell 81-75 to the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks.

Meanwhile, Albany came up short against the Niagara Purple Eagles this past Saturday, falling 66-58.

Lehigh is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-4 against the spread when favored.

The losses put Lehigh at 1-8 and Albany at 3-8. Two offensive stats to keep an eye on: Lehigh is 38th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 64.8 on average. The Great Danes have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 351st fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 57.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
