Iona vs UMKC Prediction
Iona is the better, more balanced team, and KC has had issues on the defensive side dating back to last season. However, UM Kansas City shoots the three-ball well and if those shots fall, this is a winnable game for the Roos. This is also an early start which usually leads to sloppy, sluggish play, and we can expect that even more as both teams are still trying to find its footing. We’re early in the season. UM Kansas City can hang around if shots fall from the outside, and it speeds up Iona. I’ll grab the points.
