    Thoughts on Lehigh/ Rob Morris game

    I don't really know that much about either teams outside of watching Lehigh play a handful of times. Anybody have any insight to help me out before i bet Lehigh -3.5

    I'm subscribed to Wunderdog Sports free picks and this is what he had to say about the game. Hope it helps.

The one thing Lehigh does is execute and get to the line, where they hit nearly 77% a year ago. Robert Morris is a good team and has a lot of parts back from a year ago, but have to be concerned about a 25 point loss to Rider in their opener. When you have teams on a comparable level, as we do here, you have to look at which team has the player that can take the game over. No one has a better one than Lehigh. The Mountain Hawks have been a cover machine at 14-2 ATS in their last 16, including 7-1 ATS outside conference play. Lehigh in this one.


    Suffice it to say, he like LeHigh -3.

    I rode Lehigh a lot last year and think I have to go with them here. Short line has me a little Leary but at least it moved from -1.5 open

    like lehigh, morris shot 25% vs Rider...overnight line move reinforces the play. I think its good to go.

    On Lehigh, locked and loaded. Bucknell and Lehigh can play. Lehigh has much better guard play.

    Robet Morris was hyped up in a lot of preseason magazines, and I think ESPN the mag had them at around #60 overall (which is extremely high). They return four starters, and are expected to win the Northeast conference. They play a half-court, methodical inside-out game and some solid pressure defense. They are certainly better than what they showed at Rider, but I still am taking Lehigh here; locked them in at -1.5. Mccollum is certainly a big reason; I think he can pull them through if this one gets tight.

    This was a no doubter. Gotta love those soft college basketball lines. I'm on Michigan/IUPUI over heavy too.

    Gonna ride Lehigh until the wheels fall off. These guys have been good for me last couple years. Easy win again for them
