Today's NCAA Basketball Picks:
Game: Fairfield at Iona (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Iona -3 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
Iona suffered through one of the worst seasons ever, finishing 2-28 last year. They began this season losing six straight. The culture of losing is tough to rid, but they have found their way back. They rattled off five-of-six, before losing five in a row. Those five in a row were to teams with a combined record of 70-32. However, when faced with a winnable game against St. Peter's, they won by 19 - something they simply didn't have the capacity to do last year. The Gaels now have eight dependable scorers and have broken the losing culture. Now when they are faced with a winnable game, they win it. Fairfield has had trouble defending and offensively they shoot just 41% as a team. They have also shown the capacity to go through long scoring droughts. Look for Iona to take this one at home.
