T.M. Selection: Iona.

I like Iona to cover the spread against Fairfield in this game on Tuesday. Iona has the best record in this conference at the moment, they are 11-3 and they have also won all 3 of their games in conference play so far. Their most recent game was not a game that is part of their conference play but they still lost to Saint Louis by 1 point. I think Iona is going to be due for a bounce back here since that loss ended a run where they had won 5 games in a row. Iona has already proven themselves as a good team when they upset the ranked Alabama earlier this year and became the only MAAC team in history to upset a top 10 team. They have only played in 2 road games this year and they are 1-1 but their most recent game was on the road and even though they lost by 1 point they still played very well in that game and showed up on defense as they didn't let Saint Louis put up 70+ points. I think Iona is going to have a much easier challenge on the road in this game and I think they will play defense well in this game. Lately. they haven't allowed the opposing team to score 70+ points in their previous 2 games and I think that will continue here. Fairfield has lost 4 games in a row now and they have not looked good at all. Since coming back from their break, they have lost both of their games, 1 of those being at home by 9 points. They lost their most recent game to Siena by 7 points and that is a really bad look on them since they had already played a game in January while that was Siena's 1st game back since early December. They haven't put up more than 61 points in 3 games in a row either. I think Fairfield is going to struggle to score on Iona's defense in this game so I like Iona to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Iona.
