Cleveland State Vikings vs Iona Gaels Point Spread Picks

The Gaels had a great season a year ago, which landed them in the Big Dance. But, they bowed out in the first round vs Ohio State. Iona lost their top player, and a good one at that, in Lamont Jones who averaged 22.6 ppg and was the leading assist guy as well. The Vikings had a disappointing season a year ago that ended swiftly with a first round loss in the Horizon Conference Tournament. While they really struggled on the road, this team was 9-5 at home last year. The Vikings however, are feeling good, as they return all three of their double-digit scorers from a year ago, and six of seven players that averaged 6.8 points or more. Cleveland State has been successful vs. the Metro Atlantic having gone a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four against them. Lay the small price on the home team here.
