The Niagara Purple Eagles are coming off of a 6 point win against Manhattan in their last time out. Marcus Hammond and Noah Thomasson scored 20 points apiece to lead the Purple Eagles. Sam Iorio had 17 points for Niagara while Jordan Cintron added 13 points in the win.
The Niagara Purple Eagles are led in scoring by Marcus Hammond who averages 17.9 points and 4.5 rebounds for this team. Jordan Cintron averages 10.1 points and 5.7 rebounds a night. Noah Thomasson is the third leading scorer for the Purple Eagles as he averages 10 points a game for this team.
The Purple Eagles are averaging 68.3 points per game on 44.7% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 66.3 points per game. They are shooting 72.8% from the free throw line.
The Iona Gaels are coming off of a 8 point win against Canisius in their last time out. Nelly Junior Joseph had 17 points and four blocks in the win. Tyson Jolly had 16 points for Iona. Walter Clayton Jr. added 14 points in the win.

Elijah Joiner is the third leading scorer for the Gaels as he averages 11.3 points a game for this team in the loss.
The Gaels are averaging 77.1 points per game on 44.8% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 69.2 points per game. They are shooting 69.8% from the free throw line.
The Gaels are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss and are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Although the Purple Eagles are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 home games, I think this spread is short enough for the Gaels to cover. The road team is 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
