Iona vs St. John’s Prediction
St. John’s is capable of blowing the doors off in this spot, but this is a lot of points for an early spot. Iona is a team that can always score the ball at an above-average clip. Iona also has some nice wins over Oregon State, Delaware, and Sacred Heart. This line is disrespectful if we’re being honest. Iona can push the pace and hit the three ball. If those shots are falling, this game has a chance to be sneaky competitive. I’ll grab the boatload of points.
