Iona at Marist

Premium Pick

The Marist Red Foxes have had a long season at 5-21, and four of those five wins have come during a recent four-game winning streak. But they have returned to their losing ways, entering here on a three-game losing streak. Outside the four-game streak, the Red Foxes are a woeful 1-21, and take on an Iona team that has built a solid NCAA Tournament resume at 21-6. The Gaels like to get out and run, and at the same time the defense is getting better, allowing just one of their last eight opponents to touch 70 points. That is the issue here as the Gaels have scored 70 points or more in 24 of 26 games, and Marist simply does not have the horses to be competitive in this one. Iona is on a 4-0 ATS run in their last four on the road, and have played at a high level regardless of opponent or venue. Lay the points on Iona.
