Iona is a tough matchup for anyone. They sport a winning record while ranking #8 in the nation in scoring with a sizzling 85.2 points per game. They also rank #15 in assists and shooting .487 as a team. They have 6-9 senior David Laury (18.4 ppg, 8.8 rpg) up front with sparkplug 6-4 junior guard A.J. English (23 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.8 apg) running the break. The Gaels are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games vs. a team with a winning home record. UMass enters the contest having fallen in five of its last six. The defense has allowed 75, 82, 84, 85 and 77 in those losses, so grab the talented dog and play on Iona.
