Quinnipiac vs Iona Prediction

Iona is probably the more talented team and has played its best ball at home, but we’re getting a free bucket with an impressive Quinnipiac side. Quinnipiac has a couple of road wins this season, and that includes beating Pittsburgh as a double-digit underdog. Quinnipiac gave UCF a fight and had a 9-point lead with less than 13 minutes to play. Quinnipiac also started the season on the road against St. John’s. What I’m saying is Quinnipiac has shown it can play steps up in competition and won’t be intimated of this spot. We also recently saw Iona suffer a bad loss to Green Bay. Give me the bucket with Quinnipiac.
