Iona vs Quinnipiac Prediction
Quinnipiac came into the MAAC Tournament after winning the regular season title, but they have split their last two games. The Bobcats are shooting just 42.7% from the field this year, but they have scored at least 74 points in three straight games. Iona has won four games in a row, but they are shooting only 41.9% from the field this year. The Gaels have scored 77+ points in three straight games and their defense has allowed 65 points or fewer in three of their last four. Quinnipiac won the first two meetings with Iona by scores of 63-62 and 79-74, but I really like how Iona is playing right now. The Gaels are the hotter team in this contest and I like them with the points here.
David’s Pick Iona +3.5
