BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Only two days removed from their stunning double overtime victory at home over Lafayette, Lehigh men's basketball will once again be in action on Monday night to face the Bucknell Bison in Lewisburg. The game is Lehigh's third and final CBS Sports Network produced contest of the regular season.
Monday's meeting between Lehigh (8-15, 5-7 PL) and Bucknell (10-15, 7-5 PL) will be the 185th all-time matchup in the series, with the Bison leading 111-73-1. The two teams met earlier this season in Bethlehem, resulting in an 86-80 win for the Bison. Lehigh rallied back after being down 17 at halftime to bring the game within a few possessions late, but the Bison held on to win on the road.
If Lehigh wins, they will win their second consecutive game and even the season series against Bucknell at one apiece. In addition, Lehigh's record in CBS Sports Network games would move to 2-1 this season.
Lehigh stunned rival Lafayette in their last time out, overcoming a 21-point first half deficit to defeat the Leopards in double overtime. Senior Dominic Parolin led the Mountain Hawks with a career-high 33 points, including five made three pointers. Senior Burke Chebuhar was also instrumental for Lehigh, posting his new career-high of 28 while converting on 16-19 attempts from the free throw line. Keith Higgins Jr. also made his return to the floor after missing over a month due to injury. The junior tallied 15 points off the bench while making several clutch shots down the stretch to help Lehigh pull out the win.
Bucknell enters Monday's matchup after dropping a 77-62 decision to the Boston University Terriers on Saturday. The loss set the Bison back a spot in the Patriot League standings behind American, however with a 7-5 record in league play, Bucknell is in a strong position to host a tournament game in March. The Bison are led by senior Jack Forrest, who leads the Patriot League with 16.8 points per game. Forward Noah Williamson ranks second on the team with 12.7 points per game while Elvin Edmonds IV joins them in double-digits with 10.8 points per contest.
Monday's game will be aired on CBS Sports Network and can be listened to on Fox Sports Radio 94.7 FM and 1230 AM.
