What to Know

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks haven't won a contest against the Navy Midshipmen since Feb. 9 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Wednesday. The Mountain Hawks and Navy will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET at Alumni Hall. The Midshipmen should still be riding high after a victory, while Lehigh will be looking to regain their footing.

The matchup between Lehigh and the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds on Sunday was not particularly close, with Lehigh falling 69-57. Guard Keith Higgins Jr had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only seven points on 2-for-10 shooting in his 37 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Navy beat the Boston University Terriers 72-65 on Sunday.

The Mountain Hawks are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-3 against the spread when expected to lose.

Lehigh is now 6-12 while the Midshipmen sit at 12-5. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Lehigh is 47th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 66.3 on average. Navy's defense has more to brag about, as they they enter the game with only 59.9 points allowed per game on average, good for 17th best in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
