With both teams' knack of letting it fly from deep, Jason Ence explains why this total is too short.

The Patriot League participant in the NCAA Tournament will be decided on tonight when the Boston Terriers face the Lehigh Mountain Hawks. 

The Terriers knocked off Navy with a buzzer-beater 3-pointer on Sunday, and now look to take their first conference tournament crown since 2020.

I break down the action with my Boston University vs Lehigh predictions and college basketball picks for Wednesday, March 11.

Boston University vs Lehigh prediction

Boston University vs Lehigh best bet

Boston University vs Lehigh best bet: Over 139.5 (-110)

Expect an offensive affair on Wednesday night. Since January 1, both Boston University and Lehigh rank Top 25 nationally in 3-point accuracy.

The Terriers rank second in that span, hitting 41.2% from deep while taking 43.5% of their attempts from beyond the arc. They also rank sixth in eFG% since the start of the year.

The Mountain Hawks have hit on 38.6% of their long-range efforts and face a Boston team that allowed Patriot League opponents to shoot 35.9% from deep.

Given neither team defends well or forces turnovers, we should see plenty of successful offensive possessions.

Boston University vs Lehigh same-game parlay

Boston lost in both meetings to Lehigh this season, but each was a one-possession game, including a 93-91 overtime defeat at home. But with the Terriers taking down Navy, it’s hard to pick against them here. 

The Terriers are shooting very well from beyond the arc in this tournament and are a better rebounding side. Lehigh allows too many baskets near the rim, and Boston’s size advantage inside will be key.
