BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — C.J. McCollum had 23 points as Lehigh held off a furious Saint Peter’s rally to win 77-64 on Wednesday.
The Mountain Hawks (7-6), coming off a 76-49 loss to Southern California, have won three of their last four.
Lehigh led by 23 early in the second half, but the Peacocks (7-6) closed to 63-60 with 4:39 left as Jeron Belin scored 17 of his career-high 28 points.
The Mountain Hawks rebuilt their double-digit lead by hitting 5 of 6 free throws and McCollum added a layup. Saint Peter’s could get no closer than eight the rest of the way.
