This is a 10* NIT FIRST ROUND TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the UNDER Iona/Florida.

Florida finished 19-13, while Iona was 25-7. The Gators will look to slow this one down and grind out a victory, and because of that, we're expecting this total to sneak well UNDER the posted number.

The Gaels come in looking to atone for a slip-up in the Conference Tournament, as they were upset by Rider. Tyson Jolly leads the Gaels with an average of 14.6 PPG this season. On the season Iona averages 75.2 PPG, while allowing just 68.3.

Florida fell to Texas A&M in the Conference tournament. The Gators only average 70.8 PPG, but they make up for it on the other end by allowing just 66.1.

The UNDER is 5-1 in Iona's last six games though following an ATS loss, and 5-1 in its last six when playing the role of underdog.

I don't think either team will hit its seasonal offensive average. I'm not sure how motivated Florida will be in this game, and I expect it to focus more on the defensive end to try and win this game.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
