Canisius has a terrific backcourt in junior guard Paul McMillan IV (19.8 points per game) and 6-6 senior Tana Kopa (12.1 ppg). As a team, they shoot 80.5% from the free-throw line, No. 1 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. They're 3-3 ATS over the last six games, covering as underdogs of +8 and +24 along with an 85-67 win two games ago over Rider as a +3 dog. Iona is last in the conference from the charity stripe (.664) and has lost 12 of 17. This is the first time they've been a double-digit favorite all season. They're 2-5 ATS as a favorite losing five times straight-up. When these teams last, Iona was a 6-point favorite but lost the game, 73-69. Play Canisius.
