What to Know

The Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks are even-steven against one another since January of 2016 (7-7), but not for long. Loyola-Maryland and the Mountain Hawks will face off in a Patriot battle at 5 p.m. ET Sunday at Reitz Arena. Lehigh should still be riding high after a win, while the Greyhounds will be looking to right the ship.

Loyola-Maryland came up short against the Lafayette Leopards this past Wednesday, falling 77-68.

Meanwhile, Lehigh netted an 86-77 victory over the Bucknell Bison last week. Four players on Lehigh scored in the double digits: guard Marques Wilson (19), center Nic Lynch (19), guard Keith Higgins Jr (17), and forward Jeameril Wilson (11). Higgins Jr had some trouble finding his footing against Lafayette two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction. Keith Higgins Jr's points were the most he has had all season.

The Greyhounds are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 4-10-1 against the spread when favored.

Loyola-Maryland's loss took them down to 13-13 while Lehigh's win pulled them up to 10-17. In Lehigh's win, Higgins Jr had 17 points and six assists and Marques Wilson shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 19 points and eight boards. We'll see if Loyola-Maryland have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
