Normally high-scoring Iona has been shaky on offense in the MEAC Tournament. Its games have generated 128 and 130 points. Marist, hardly a scoring machine, has been involved in games of 111, 134 and 126 points. The Gaels are far superior, so the outmanned Red Foxes will try to take the air out of the ball. A loss would likely make this coach Rick Pitino's farewell at Iona, and he could keep a tighter rein on the Gaels offensively.
