Iona has been playing very well and they are coming into this game with a flawless record in their conference games and their home games this season. They have been playing very well recently, not just winning games but smashing the teams they play by a lot of points. Saint Peter's does not score a lot of points in their games and they will likely not be able to keep up with Iona here as Iona is in a different league compared to Saint Peter's. Iona will keep adding onto their lead at home here and pull away more and more as the game goes on. The best bet to place in this game is on Iona to cover the spread here.

“That was the focus all week in practice. We knew Shavar and Papas were shooting over 40 percent from the 3-point line. We knew we had to run them off the 3-point line and contain them off the dibble, too. We were locked into that all week. It was really just talking to each other. Coach (Shaheen Holloway) said if we talk, we can’t mess up.” - Daryl Banks on their win against Monmouth.

 

 

"It just shows we have older guys who have been here before. We might not click on the offensive end all the time, but we have experience. We just go out there and fight until the end. We're happy with the results, especially when we win." - Elijah Joiner on their win against Siena.
