Lehigh vs Virginia Tech Prediction, Odds, Lines, Spread and Picks - November 10 | 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Season
The Lehigh Mountain Hawks and Virginia Tech Hokies square off in NCAA basketball action at the Cassell Coliseum on Thursday, November 10. Lehigh just lost to Syracuse in their first game of the season. Virginia Tech defeated Delaware State in their opening game.
The Hokies were hoping to find a capable replacement for Keve Aluma, their leading scorer the previous two seasons, while Virginia Tech were able to gain a commitment from Wright State transfer Grant Basile. Basile made his Tech debut on Monday night, matching Aluma's career high of 30 points in a 95-57 rout of Delaware State.
The Hokies will be hoping for more of the same from the versatile 6-foot-9 forward when Tech (1-0) hosts Lehigh (0-1) on Thursday.

Lehigh vs Virginia Tech Best Picks and Prediction
I'll probably continue to stay with Virginia Tech for this one. The Hokies easily defeated Delaware State, winning with a 55.0 percent field goal percentage, a 50 percent (3-point field goal percentage of 14-of-28), 42 rebounds, and 18 assists.
Lehigh shouldn't pose too much of a challenge because the Mountain Hawks struggled in the first half against Syracuse and were outrebounded 39–26 in that game.
