Lehigh and Prairie View A&M are set for another battle of contrasting styles – not too unlike the first game last night. The Mountain Hawks play patient half-court basketball, relying on perimeter shooting that includes 36.3% 3 pt success (52nd) and opportunistic post scoring. PVAM want to push the ball up the court, apply pressure and run – ranked 23rd in adj tempo. Neither team is very good defensively with Lehigh at 257th and PVAM at 231th in adj Def eff.
Lehigh turns the ball over more than you might think – they rank 248 in ball security with 12.3 t/o per game – a 15.8% turnover rate. Meanwhile the Panthers are 20th in points from t/os at 17.7 per game and 45th in forced turnovers. Under PVAM-like pressure, Lehigh’s ball security is even worse.
PVAM’s 3 pt defense is mediocre at 33.5% opponent percentage. I think Lehigh will get their share of triples – leading scorer Whitlock shoots at 44.5% and his backcourt mate Ingram fires at 39% . PVAM will get their speedy transition points and pts off t/os. As a result, similar to UMBC/Howard, I expect the full game total to be on the high side.
Full Game Total: Over 141 -116 PX
Good luck to all
