BUFFALO, NY - The Iona College men's basketball team won its Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference opener at Canisius 69-57. With the Griffs doing a solid job dictating the tempo away from the Gaels' comfortable frenetic pace, the Maroon & Gold clamped down on defense in the second half to earn the 12-point conference road win.
The slowed down pace, cold-shooting by Iona and some opportune shot making with the shot clock winding down for Canisius kept the Griffs within striking distance over the first 30 minutes of the contest.
