Preview: Lehigh at Navy in Patriot League Men’s Basketball ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Interstat) — A surging Navy squad looks to continue its dominant run and solidify its Patriot League standing when it hosts a Lehigh team seeking an elusive signature win Wednesday at Alumni Hall. The Midshipmen (21-6) enter on a seven-game winning streak, including an 84-80 overtime victory at Colgate last Saturday. Navy sits atop the league standings and has lost only once since the calendar turned to 2026. Donovan Draper has been a consistent force, averaging 16.0 points and 7.4 rebounds over his last five games. His versatility was on full display in a win over American on Feb. 7, posting 18 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and two blocks. The Mountain Hawks (12-15) have shown resilience in close games but have struggled for consistency. They are coming off a 78-69 road win at Lafayette, powered by a strong performance from Hank Alvey. The standout forward is averaging 21.7 points over his last four contests, including a 28-point effort in a loss at Holy Cross on Feb. 7. Lehigh’s season has been marked by narrow defeats, with five of their last nine losses coming by six points or fewer or in overtime. This matchup is a rematch of a Jan. 17 thriller in Bethlehem, where Navy escaped with an 82-79 double-overtime victory. Lehigh will aim to avenge that result and disrupt Navy’s momentum on its home court, where the Midshipmen are 11-2 this season. For Lehigh, containing Draper and finding secondary scoring behind Alvey will be critical. For Navy, maintaining its defensive intensity—holding opponents to 65.2 points per game during its win streak—is the formula to handle a Lehigh team capable of offensive bursts. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST Wednesday in Annapolis.
