Advantages Why Cornell can win
- Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Cornell about 5.9 points stronger over recent games.
- Cornell's offense (119.0 points per 100 possessions, 22nd in Division I) meets a Lehigh defense that ranks 188th.
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 2.0 points to Cornell in our ratings.
- Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Cornell 156th (+1.6), Lehigh 246th (-4.7) of 365.
- Team matchup: where Cornell can take advantage. Their shooting efficiency (5th of 365) meets the Lehigh shooting defense (165th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Cornell. The closest: at forward, Edouard Benoit (Lehigh: 10.2 pts, 5.9 reb, 1.1 ast, Game Score 6.3) is about even with Kaspar Sepp (Cornell: 5.1 pts, 5.6 reb, 2.7 ast, Game Score 5.3).
- Simulation: Cornell win 2,940 of 5,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Cornell may not
- Home court: Lehigh play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
- Lehigh's offense (104.2 points per 100 possessions, 265th in Division I) meets a Cornell defense that ranks 345th.
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Cornell lose by 12 or more.
- Weak spot: Cornell rank 358th of 365 in points allowed per game (84.6).
- Team matchup: where Lehigh can push back. Their shooting efficiency (123rd of 365) meets the Cornell shooting defense (340th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Hank Alvey (Lehigh: 15.1 pts, 7.0 reb, 2.1 ast, Game Score 14.2) has the edge on Adam Hinton (Cornell: 12.5 pts, 3.1 reb, 1.9 ast, Game Score 9.3).
- Upset odds: Lehigh win 2,060 of 5,000 simulations (41%). A 59% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
