Niagara at Iona

Niagara is at Madison Square Garden for this conference game. Niagra has a terrific talent in Ramone Snowden, who is averaging 20.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in three all-time meetings with Iona. Snowden is one of four players in the nation to lead his team in points (11.9 points per game), rebounds (6.0 rebounds per game), blocks (nine), assists (49), and steals (23). Iona is winning games but not covering, 1-4 ATS at neutral sites, and the Gaels are 17-39-3 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400. The Niagara Purple Eagles were 10 seconds away from topping conference-leading Iona before falling in the final seconds, 80-79, the last time they met, and this will be closer than oddsmakers expect. Play Niagara. Also take the UNDER. The Purple Eagles are averaging 60.4 per game on the road, and Iona, while scoring a lot early, has cooled of late. They averaged 84.7 through their first fifteen games, but have gotten just 77 per game since. This total is overdone. Take the Purprle Eagles and the UNDER here.
