ANALYSIS:
Lehigh presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Carrying a record of 13-19, they are currently rated #300 overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 275.3), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.274 (which ranks 335th nationally), Lehigh has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

Lehigh will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #298 in defensive efficiency. Lehigh is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #357 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 4.99 vs. AO. Lehigh is also one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 6.6% of all second-chance opportunities (334th nationally), and with a rating of 15.65, they're 327th in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well.

Lehigh doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 94 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #296 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Lehigh does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 19.48 vs. AO, they are 339th in the overall rankings for that category. Lehigh will also have a really tough time winning games when taking into consideration their shooting percentage near the basket. The team is ranked 337th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 52.0% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. Lehigh lastly happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 334th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 79.49 vs. AO. If Lehigh does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully hit from mid-range locations on the court. The team makes 42.0% of their in-between field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 29th in the NCAA.

Lehigh has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked tenth in positive momentum because of it. Lehigh has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 326th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.
Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:

Against foes that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 53.12%, Lehigh performs above their norm 67% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 20% of the time.
When facing teams that typically allow more than a fair share of breakaway opportunities, Lehigh often performs better than normal. Lehigh is more efficient than usual 77% of the time when facing teams that have a potential point rate allowed off steals vs. AO greater than 13.89. In their other contests, Lehigh performs better than the norm 33% of the time.
