Lehigh Mountain Hawks men's basketball

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks men's basketball team — known as the Lehigh Engineers until 1995 — represents Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in NCAA Division I competition. They have competed in the Patriot League since the circuit became an all-sport conference in 1990. Its home games are played at Stabler Arena.
