Nevada at Iona

Bracket buster games mostly don't live up to the hype, but this is a game that will have a playoff-like atmosphere, which means outstanding defense, as both teams have topped 20 wins and are powerhouses in their conferences. Nevada (22-4) is tops in the WAC in wins and defense allowing 63.4 points per game and field goal shooting defense, just 40.6% from the field. And when they play good teams, their defense rises, as the UNDER is 6-2 in the Wolf Pack's last eight games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. This Iona team (21-6) is also tops in its conference (MAAC) and on a 7-3-1 run UNDER the total. The UNDER is also 10-2 in the Gaels’ last 12 home games against a team with a winning road record. Look for a tough defensive battle, so play the UNDER.
