Iona at Siena

Siena plays its best defense at home, 7-0-1 UNDER the total at home. They will look to control the pace against an Iona team that likes to run, though the UNDER is 6-2 in the Gaels last eight vs. a team with a losing record. Siena has won four of its last five games playing a slow, defensive style, allowing 59, 69, 47, and 58 points in the win. And the only loss was a 63-59 game. Siena is on a 13-3 run UNDER the total, and when these teams meet, the UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Iona enters the game in a four-way tie for first in the MAAC, a game ahead of the Saints. So with so much at stake, look for more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play Iona/Siena UNDER the Total.
