Iona MBB Falls to Quinnipiac, 82-64

NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona University men's basketball team dropped an 82-64 decision to Quinnipiac in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at the Hynes Center. Graduate Joel Brown scored a season-best 17 points and classmate Idan Tretout chipped in 14 in the defeat.

THE RUNDOWN

With the score tied at 6-6 just over four minutes into the contest, the Bobcats scored 17 of the next 20 points over the next 5:15, capped by nine straight to give the visitors a 23-9 advantage with 10:42 to play. The Gaels came as close as seven points following a Tretout jumper to as time was expiring in the first half.
 
Quinnipiac regained a 14-point lead and led 47-33 less than three and a half minutes into the frame following an 8-0 run. The Gaels battled back with seven straight points that sparked a 17-7 run and a four point deficit at the midway point of the half. Trailing 54-50 after a Brown three-ball, Iona went cold from the field, going without a field goal for a near four minute span and allowing the Bobcats to regain a double-digit advantage it would hold for the remainder of the contest.
