This was a bit of a shocker. Massey has Lehigh favored by 2 (65-63 - a virtual toss-up) and gives them a 52% chance for the win. Lehigh is currently 11-7 (4-3 in the Patriot League) after losing their first two PL games. Last time they played, HC won 75-54. I am not sure why he picks this one for the Mountain Hawks??
PDS: Pre-season he had them favored at home over HC by only 1 point (69-68).

Tough stretch right now, AU. Lehigh on the road & then BU Monday. Top 3 challengers all in a row. Both LU & BU have been up and down & very inconsistent - could make for a couple of good, close(?) games

He's all over the map. I've never gone to the site but I enjoy you posting his picks. His AI logarithm seems heavier on the A than the I.🙂

It's a great site for quickly checking schedules of previous and future opponents.

BU will be home on Saturday against Laffy before Monday's tilt. HC will bus home from Lehigh on Saturday night during a stormy weekend after playing a tougher opponent.
However the schedule will not save the Terriers.

They speak about each other stepping up as needed, whatever it takes to win. Watching them this mind set seems clear. So nice to follow them and hope the men can shortly feel the same confidence

However the schedule will not save the Terriers. I think the weather should be okay for the trip home tonight. Sunday is a little iffier.

Disappointing close loss to Lehigh MBB at the Hart. Now time for retribution. Let's go!

Not looking good by HC at this point - sloppy play. 3 HC turnovers, only 2 by Lehigh

Munt with a terrific burst, then a travel call and then she trots off to the bench. She's "that close" as Agent 86, Maxwell Smart used to say.

Lehigh scores again (8-0 run) now 18-8. This is a far different game than our last match-up.

Lehigh at the buzzer - horrible first quarter HC trails 8-20 (Lehigh on a 12 point run).

Wright scores to break a 14 point run by L. Lehigh come down and scores quickly leading 24-13.

In the first quarter Lehigh shot 53% and HC shot only 25%.

Nice strip by Wright. HC ball. Feed to Berger who hits (24-15 Lehigh).
