NCAA Basketball - 15 December 2011

Big play here.

Iona to win @ $1.91 - (@ Richmond)

Iona are a very good team this year. They are averaging second most points in the nation (87.4), second most assists (20.3) and 8th in FG% (50.7%). Their last game was an abberation where they were smashed by Marshall (of course, we were on Marshall). Prior to that, had solid wins over Denver, Maryland and an outstanding double OT win over St Josephs.

They possess one of the best point guards in the nation (Scott Machado - 15.4 ppg, 10.4 apg, 2 spg), a very talented Arizona transfer in MoMo Jones (14.9 ppg) and a very reliable big man in Michael Glover (19.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg). This team is going places and should win the MAAC.

Richmond are still a decent school despite losing 4 starters from last season's Sweet 16 competitors. They've had some okay results (beating teams such as Rutgers, William & Mary and Wake Forest) but were easily handled by VCU last game. Their schedule has not been as strong as Iona's, and there record is not as strong either.

I think this is a very solid play to take Iona and will be betting up. 5 units.
