2/16/2024 1:40:00 PM | Men's Basketball

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Having won each of their last two games in overtime, Lehigh men's basketball returns to action from Stabler Arena on Saturday. The Mountain Hawks will host Loyola Maryland for 3's For a Cure Day, presented by Red Robin in partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Lehigh (9-15, 6-7 PL) has faced off against Loyola (6-20, 4-9 PL) the least of any Patriot League school, as the Greyhounds joined the league in 2013. The Mountain Hawks hold a slim 16-15 advantage over the Greyhounds in the all-time series. In their first matchup this season, senior Jalin Sinclair scored a career-high 30 points on route to an 88-76 Lehigh victory in Baltimore.

If Lehigh wins, they will win their third consecutive game, including two in a row at Stabler Arena. A win would also sweep the season series over the Greyhounds for the Mountain Hawks.

After defeating rival Lafayette in a thrilling 94-90 double overtime victory last Saturday, Lehigh had a quick turnaround, facing Bucknell in Lewisburg the following Monday. The Mountain Hawks once again prevailed in overtime by a score of 71-63. First-year Joshua Ingram impressed, scoring a career-high 24 points and grabbed a career-best nine rebounds in the win. The game was played in front of a national audience on CBS Sports Network, moving the Mountain Hawks' record in such games to 2-1 this year.

The Greyhounds enter Saturday's contest having won their last game against Lafayette by a score of 79-64. The win moved Loyola's conference record to 4-9 and their away record to 5-10. The Greyhounds have found more success away from Reitz Arena, as Loyola holds a 1-9 record at home this season. The team is led by sophomore Deon Perry, who leads the Patriot League in scoring at 16.8 points per game. Fifth-year Golden Dike has been a dominant presence for the Greyhounds this season, averaging 7.0 rebounds per game, which ranks second in the league.

Saturday's game will be aired on ESPN+ and can be listened to on Fox Sports Radio 94.7 FM and 1230 AM.
