Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Iona has crashing the boards this season, having averaged 37.8 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Saint Peter's struggles in that department as they've been averaging 38.6. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Looking forward, Iona is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by one point. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Iona is playing as the favorites at home, but their 0-1 record against the spread as such isn't exactly encouraging.
