About Lehigh (4-1): The Mountain Hawks should be one of the best nonconference opponents to visit Manhattan this season. Lehigh is off to a 4-1 start and its only loss came against Miami. It has defeated Monmouth, Marist, Princeton and Siena.
About Kansas State (5-0): The Wildcats are coming off a championship run at the Paradise Jam in which they defeated Eastern Kentucky, Penn and Missouri. Dean Wade was named MVP of the tournament. K-State will look to build off that hot start at home against Lehigh.
Prediction: K-State 77, Lehigh 65 — The first game after a holiday tournament is never easy, so this could be a challenging game for K-State. Lehigh is well-coached and capable of scoring 80-plus points. Still, if the Wildcats take care of business they should win by double digits.
