Hey guys - i don't frequently post on this site but this game has peaked my interest. I attended Lehigh and was able to watch almost all of their games in person. I am almost an expert on them. This year Lehigh has played two tough games At St Johns (up 16pts) losing by 5 and At Iowa St, losing by 9. Both games Lehigh covered the spread and both games had bad second half let downs due to the atleticism of the opponent. Lehigh then handled Fairleigh Dickenson by 11 very easilly their next match. William and Mary lost to St Johns by 15 completely outclassed in that matchup. They have also lost their next two matchups against weaker opponents. This game has the makings of a mismatch with Lehigh an experienced verteran team led by CJ McCollum who is projected as a 2nd round NBA draft pick and was invited to the under 21 USA basketball camp. William and Mary has nobody on the floor to stop him and will rely solely on the 3pt shots. The spread of -1.5 for lehigh is off here. Should be -7 in my estimation but the lack of coverage / respect for Patriot league gives you a rare opportunity to get some good value here. All comments / opionons welcome, i want to see if i'm all alone here or if others agree.

Laroja - who on William and Mary can consistently score? I watched the whole game against St Johns and they didn't take any 2pt attempts. They live and die by the 3 and will aventually get cold without a go to scorer that lehigh has.

No idea, I've actually played Lehigh-2 for 1.25 units but I'm just trying to bring the counter argument. I feel like when there's opposing views, clarity is often brought on the matchup; I don't really like to rub shoulders all day.

W&M is returning 4 starters from the worst team in the CAA last year, 3 sophomores and 2 seniors, with 2 freshmen and 2 juniors coming off the bench. they may have some experience, but they are still young and their experience is having gone through a 10-22 season and losing a bunch of pretty close games (which, to me, shows they don't know how to win when it counts).
lehigh has 3 returning starters, the top returning scorer in the country, have big expectations this year. did a write-up on lehigh before the st. johns game. admittedly biased as i graduated from lehigh a couple months ago, but i'd also like to think i nailed my analysis of them as a team. i agree with hefty that lehigh gives you excellent value here. i think because of the public perception of the Patriot League though the line is about right based on what the average public would know about them, but i think lehigh covers and wins by 6-10 points

Heftybags. I'm with you and William and Mary has 3 big men out of their rotation and like always will live and die by the 3's. No answer for McCollum and on the flip side I don't see Lehigh defending either. Due to the lack of defense and both being more offensive minded, really like the over play in this one.
