Princeton Tigers vs. Iona Gaels Prediction
I’m on Iona in this one. I get the case to be made for Princeton and the points, but Iona’s looked really good out of the gate and I just feel like they’re the more talented team here. Princeton’s had issues in their road games to date and I think Iona gets it done here. Give me the Gaels.
