We've got another exciting MAAC matchup on schedule as the Iona Gaels and the Manhattan Jaspers are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Draddy Gymnasium. The Jaspers have the home-court advantage, but the Gaels are expected to win by 1.5 points.

Manhattan is hoping to do what Siena couldn't on Saturday: put an end to Iona's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Iona managed a 72-68 victory over Siena.

Iona was working as a unit and finished the game with 17 assists. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 11.3 assists per game earlier this season, but in their last five contests they've averaged 18.4.

Meanwhile, Manhattan earned a 74-64 win over Mt St Mary's on Saturday.

Iona's victory bumped their record up to 8-12. As for Manhattan, the win got them back to even at 9-9.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Iona has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Manhattan struggles in that department as they've been averaging 36.7. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Iona skirted past Manhattan 60-57 when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Does Iona have another victory up their sleeve, or will Manhattan turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
