10* Navy (7:00 ET): Navy will look to continue its mastery of Lehigh as it looks to stay atop the Patriot League standings after tonight. The Midshipmen come in sporting a 5-1 SU conference record, tied with Loyola MD for first place. All the Patriot League teams are in action Wednesday, including Loyola, who is also at home against Boston U. Of the co-leaders, the Middies have the easier matchup. They are 4-0 SU/ATS the L2 seasons against Lehigh, who comes in at just 6-12 SU overall on the year.

Now Lehigh has been a bit pesky as an underdog this season, covering all four times the oddsmakers have given them 12.5 or more points. But the Mountain Hawks also lost all four of those games - to Rutgers, Virginia, Maryland and Yale - three of them by double digits. There was a 4-1 run to open conference play, including a rather shocking 97-64 win at Bucknell (as 3.5-point underdog), however Lehigh then “came back down to Earth” on Sunday, losing at Loyola MD by 12 as a two-point home dog.

Navy is only 4-3 SU at home in 2021-22, which is somewhat surprising. Their lone conference loss did occur here in Annapolis, 69-50 to Colgate, just last Thursday. But the Midshipmen quickly responded by sinking Boston U on the road, 72-65, on Sunday. I can’t see them dropping B2B home games in league play. This Navy team plays solid defense as it gives up only 59.9 PPG. They are 9-2 ATS when favored this season and 27-10 ATS in the chalk role the L3 seasons. This number should be closer to -20. 10* Navy
