Iona vs Quinnipiac

Quinnipiac's recent form suggests a surge of momentum, enhanced by the return of their top-scoring guard who has historically dominated against Iona’s defense. Iona has been riding a three-game run, which could give them the momentum in the MAAC playoffs against the 1 seed Quinnipiac. Taking all factors into account, Quinnipiac’s consistent form and better depth put them in a position to prevail, earning this moneyline pick a solid B for both likelihood to hit and rewarding payout if successful.

Iona’s top scorer looks hungry to redeem a 12-8-15-16 record that includes a three-game run, while Quinnipiac, sitting at 15-5-20-12, aims to extend its modest winning streak behind the steady hands of its playmaking guard who traditionally performs well against the Gaels. An ailing starting center for Iona limits the team’s depth and slows their pace, feeding the chance of an overall lower-scoring contest. Meanwhile, Quinnipiac’s forward has battled through minor shoulder trouble but remains set to anchor a defense that historically keeps Iona’s shooters in check. With both teams navigating injuries and methodical offensive sets, the Under 145 pick stands out for a decent payout at +105, earning a B+ grade for its likelihood of hitting and worthwhile monetary return.

The Gaels’ interior rotation remains uncertain due to a lingering injury to one of their top forwards, which could open the paint. Historically, Quinnipiac has fared better in conference showdowns over the past few seasons, making a victory of more than four points increasingly likely. Taking the Bobcats at -4.5 not only offers a solid payout but also earns a B+ grade for combining reasonable risk with sizable reward.
