Where the Gaels Thrive: Iona is ranked No. 11 in Pomeroy’s offensive ratings.
Where the Gaels Need Work: Iona is ranked No. 302 in the corresponding defensive ratings.
Overall Outlook: Iona looks like the strongest team in the MAAC largely because of its dominant offense (fifth in the nation in points per game). That offense comes from its blinding pace (seventh in adjusted tempo), which leads to plenty of extra possessions and easy scoring opportunities.
However, the Gaels struggle to stop teams, which is why they already have six losses even with that impressive offense.
