Delaware @ Iona

Current Records: Delaware 9-3; Iona 9-2

What to Know

The Iona Gaels and the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens will compete for holiday cheer at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday at UBS Arena. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Gaels didn't have too much trouble with the Yale Bulldogs last week as they won 91-77.

Meanwhile, the sound you heard two weeks ago was the absolute smackdown Delaware laid on the Moravian Greyhounds.

Iona is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (6-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Iona came up short against Delaware when the teams previously met five seasons ago, falling 63-54. Can Iona avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
