⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Hofstra based on their returning core, but divergent money percentages and reverse line movement signal sharp resistance, making a fade of the public optimal for value on Iona. Both teams feature up-tempo styles per preseason KenPom projections (Iona adj. tempo 72.5, Hofstra 71.8), with no major injuries reported, pointing to a moderate-scoring affair likely exceeding the total. Overall, the matchup tilts toward Iona’s home preparation outweighing Hofstra’s recent loss to UCF.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Hofstra Pride — Iona holds the mathematical edge with positive EV on the spread and moneyline, driven by line movement and home factors.
