Yea, I threw in the middle name just because.

Las Vegas - Rick Pitino KNOWS how to close. Iona was 13-7 at the end of January then RIPPED off a gorgeous 10 game winning streak. The Gaels have also covered nine of those 10 and clinched a 1st round bye in the MAAC tourney. And they haven't just been winning, they've been CRUSHING, winning by an average of almost 18 points per game. This is also a revenge game for Iona since Rider came to their house, the Hynes Athletic Center, and squeezed out a 70-67 win.
