Iona -2 (4.4* NCAAB POD)
This one is for the MAAC title likely although Loyolla will still get a visit from Fairfield who is still in this thing.  Iona won earlier this year 74-63 and shot 50% to Loyolla’s 38.7%.  Normally I’m on the other side in these type of games with revenge, but Loyolla is a team that has over achieved and has feasted on a easier schedule than Iona.  There is a reason Iona with the same record are favorites in this game.
 
The trio of Glover/Machado/Jones is as good as any and they dominated the first match up.  The one advantage Loyolla truly has is rebounding, but Iona was +10 in that margin in the first match up.  Machado leads the nation in assists and he’ll find his guys when he has to.  In the first match up Loyolla had no answer for Glover on the boards or scoring.  Iona is now better and more gelled than the last time these two played and Mo Mo Jones has really come to the forefront for this team.  Expect another win from Iona as they cruise into the NCAA Tournament.
