The Gaels are on a 10-3 ATS run and they continue to play great defensively allowing opponents a .409 field goal percentage overall and .292 from 3-point range and they have gone UNDER their last three games while allowing only 56 points per game. Connecticut is 4-0 UNDER its past four and the Huskies allow 41 percent shooting and 30 percent on 3-pointers. Walter Clayton Jr. leads four double-figure scorers for Iona with 16.5 points per game with an incredible 94.4 percent free throw percentage in the regular season. Connecticut comes off a 70-68 loss to Marquette in the conference tournament and the Huskies are 3-7 ATS off a loss. Iona is 22-8-1 ATS its past 31 neutral-court games and the last four have gone UNDER. Also, the Gaels are 5-1 UNDER after winning by at least 20 points and Connecticut is 5-2 UNDER its past seven NCAA Tournament games. Both teams combine to allow fewer than 60 points before halftime.
