Lehigh vs Loyola Maryland

Underdogs poised to upset in a pivotal matchup

Lehigh

Mountain Hawks (3-7-8-13) VS Greyhounds (4-6-9-12)

Mar 04, 2025 | 19:00 ET | Reitz Arena

Loyola Maryland
Moneyline Pick: Lehigh (+104) - B+

Lehigh's recent turnaround, highlighted by snapping a three-game losing streak, positions them as a dark horse against Loyola Maryland. With their leading scorer back from an ankle injury, the Mountain Hawks’ offense has reignited just in time. Historically, Lehigh has performed well at Reitz Arena, winning two of their last three visits. Given these factors, Lehigh offers solid value on the moneyline.

Over/Under Pick: Under 140.5 Points (-110) - A

Lehigh enters this matchup on a four-game losing streak, struggling offensively without their leading scorer, who is nursing a sprained ankle. The Mountain Hawks have averaged just 62 points per game during this skid. On the flip side, Loyola Maryland has found success through stout defense, winning their last three games while limiting opponents to 65 points or fewer. The Greyhounds' forward has consistently disrupted Lehigh's offense in past meetings, recording double-digit rebounds and multiple blocks. Given both teams' recent trends and key player absences, a low-scoring affair seems imminent, making the Under 140.5 points a strong pick.

Spread Pick: Loyola Maryland, -1.5 (-110) - Grade: B
Loyola Maryland comes into this matchup with momentum on their side, having won their last two home games convincingly. Lehigh, on the other hand, has struggled on the road this season, particularly against strong defensive teams like the Greyhounds. With the home-court advantage at Reitz Arena, Loyola Maryland is poised to edge out Lehigh by more than the narrow 1.5-point spread. Historically, the Greyhounds have had success against the Mountain Hawks at home, securing victories in their last three meetings on their court. While both teams are relatively healthy, the Greyhounds' defense could be the deciding factor in this close contest.
