This is going to be a very tough game. They have only lost once at home this season. ETSU is a very good team - as I said earlier, we must bring our A game today - anything less and our season is over! GO GAELS - BRING IT BACK TO HYNES ON WEDNESDAY!

Here is a betting site with their take on today's game. To me, more important than their pick on the game (Iona to cover) are some of the stats which they quote. "Iona ranks 23rd in the country in offensive efficiency at 1.14 points per possession and an incredible ninth in effective field goal percentage at a whopping 54.5 percent." "The Gaels rank eighth in the country in two-point offense at a fat 53.5 percent and they rank 45th in three point offense at 37.5 percent." They further point out that while the Gaels are 45th in the nation in 3 pt offense, ETSU is 141st in the nation in 3 pt defense. That said, we all know that stats don't win games and there is a good reason games are played on the court.
