Lehigh hosts Cornell on 5 November 2026 in an NCAA matchup that feels almost evenly split, with Pythia giving the home side a 49% chance to win and the visitors a 51% chance, making Cornell the slight favourite. Lehigh enters the game with a 0-1 record, averaging 67.0 points and allowing 92.0, while Cornell boasts a 1-0 record, scoring 86.0 and conceding 85.0, a stark contrast that hints at a tighter contest. The two teams have faced each other twice before, Cornell winning both meetings, most recently 84-78 on 6 November 2023, suggesting a historical edge for the visitors. In recent form, Lehigh has gone 3-2 over its last five games, with a 74-60 win over Boston University and losses to St. Louis Billikens and Prairie View A&M, whereas Cornell has gone 4-1, highlighted by an 111-90 win over Dartmouth and a narrow 86-85 victory against Pepperdine. Pythia projects a score of 81-81, a total of 161.6 points, and a 52% chance that Lehigh will cover the 1.5-point line, while the over on the 156.5-point total has a 61% probability; the game carries a 5% chance of overtime. The final figure to watch will be whether Cornell can maintain its 1-0 start against a Lehigh squad that has struggled defensively so far.
Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.

Each team's average half over its last 10 games. Net is the half margin (above zero = the team wins that half on average: who starts fast, who closes); Pythia projection = the half means of tonight's simulation. Hover a bar for its value.
Markets that span the whole game: how the halves and quarters compare, overtime, the exact winning margin. Pythia's probability comes from 20,000 simulations of this game quarter by quarter; the price, edge and books are the same as everywhere on the page.
Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ranked by edge (click any column to re-sort). Use Min odds to match the prices you want; Edge = Yes shows only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them. The five price columns are the best market prices (highest first); edge is vs the consensus price.
