Siena at Iona

The Siena Saints will head out on the road tonight to take on the Iona Gaels in this Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference showdown scheduled for a 7:00 P.M. ET tip-off.

Our odds list Iona as a 10.5 point favorite with a total set at 146.5. I have seen the line move to Iona -11 and even some -11.5 at a few outlets. The total is all over the place with some outlets still at 146.5 and a few are at 147 and there are a few 146 out at a few sportsbooks.

Siena (10-13, 7-6) enters tonight matchup winners in three of their last five games going just 1-4 ATS in those games. The Saints have played very good defense the last five games allowing just 63.8 points per game which is 5.2 points below their season average. The Saints have only allowed opposing teams to score more then 70 points in two of their last twelve games, a big improvement since they allowed 70 plus points in seven of their first eleven games. The offense has not been anything to write home about averaging just 66 points per game in the last five games which is 1.9 points lower then their season average. Siena has seen four of the last five games stay under the posted total. The Saints have seen the under cash in four of their last five games on three days of rest. Siena has seen four of the last five road games for them stay under the posted total. The under is 5-0 the last five games for Siena after a loss and the under is 4-1 the last five games against teams above .500.

Iona (14-10, 8-5) enters tonight’s matchup struggling as of late going 1-4 SU the last five games while going 0-4-1 ATS. Iona’s recent struggles are coming on both sides of the ball. The Gaels are averaging just 74.6 points per game the last five games which is 4.3 points lower then their season average. The defense from Iona is allowing 73.2 points per game over the last five games which is 1.8 points higher then their season average. Even though Iona is struggling defensively the last five game their last five games at home the defense is allowing just 57.8 points per game which is 7.7 point lower then their season average at home. The under is 3-2 the last five games for Iona at home while the under is 3-2 the last five games on three days of rest. The under is 4-1 the last five games for Iona against a team with a losing SU record. The under 3-0-1 the last four games between these two teams in Iona.

Look for these two teams to have about 68-70 possessions each tonight. With that many possessions you would think over but with Siena stepping up their defense as of late and Iona just shutting teams down the last five games at home I like this game to stay under the posted total tonight. Play the under in this game and grab another free play winner.
