Gary's Take I love this spot for the dog because the way these two teams score is a lot closer than the number suggests. Iona actually has a slight edge in overall shot efficiency and three-point accuracy, while taking care of the ball better than St. John's. The Red Storm answer with muscle: they dominate the offensive glass and live at the free throw line, which should let them control the game but not necessarily turn it into a 30-point laugher.

Recent form says St. John's can blow out weaker opponents, but Iona has been competitive in most of its games and has the shooting to trade punches. With both teams playing at a similar tempo and no clear overall efficiency gap, getting this many points with a live offensive underdog is too much value to pass up. Lock it in: Iona Gaels +27.5 -115.
