American at Lehigh

The American Eagles may have the most patriotic name in college hoops, and rightfully fit into the Patriot Conference. They had a mediocre season at 15-15, as they take on Lehigh in conference tourney action. They have more than held their own vs. the Mountain Hawks and in the two meetings this season show a scoring margin deficit of just two points per game, winning by three and losing by seven. Lehigh's 16-13 overall record is somewhat tainted as they finished just 2-3 in their last five games, and unlike the stars they have had in recent seasons, that is missing from this team this year. The Mountain Hawks seldom play lined games, but at home they certainly have not lived up to the billing at 1-4 ATS here in their last five. Take the points on American.
