Iona vs Niagara
Gaels look to capitalize on Purple Eagles' struggles

Gaels (6-5-9-13) VS Purple Eagles (3-7-8-13)
February 28, 2025 | 6:30 PM ET | Gallagher Center

Iona enters this matchup carrying some momentum, having won two of its last three games, while Niagara remains stuck in a tough stretch, dropping four of its past five. With Niagara struggling to find any consistency and missing a critical piece in the paint, Iona has the edge in this matchup. Considering the tight odds, the slight value rests with the Gaels, making them a solid pick, even if not an absolute lock. Expect Iona to handle business on the road.
Niagara enters this game riding a rough four-game losing streak, and their offensive struggles have been evident, averaging just 62.3 points per game during the skid. Meanwhile, Iona hasn’t been much better, dropping three straight while failing to score more than 70 points in any of those losses. Historically, this series has leaned toward defensive battles, with three of the last four matchups failing to crack 130 total points. With both teams struggling offensively and Niagara missing a key scorer, the under looks like a strong play. Given the trends and injury concerns, this pick lands at a solid B grade for value and reliability.
