Massachusetts -4
Getting a team that comes to your place that plays the same no-defense style as you do, and is a tad smaller, is a very favorable thing for UMass. The Minutemen fold tent in half-court games against opponents that actually practice defensive fundamentals. Iona just wants to run up and down the floor and score points. Just like UMass does. UMass forwards like Cady Lalanne and Maxie Esho should have clear paths to the hoop for jams that won?t be coming in Atlantic 10 play when UMass loses games 71-59. Iona comes out of a romping win at awful Drexel on Sunday ? not enough time in between games when UMass has had one week, and is coming off two road losses at Providence and BYU.
