The Rider Broncs are off to a poor 6-9 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, sixth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and are on a three-game losing streak.
They suffered a defeat against the Siena Saints (68-63) in their last outing, where Dwight Murray Jr. came up with 20 points but no other major contribution made them lose the game.
They will now take on the Iona Gaels, who are on a much better 12-5 start to the season, second in the same conference, and managed to defeat the Fairfield Stags (75-69) in their previous outing, courtesy of decent contributions from every player in the starting lineup.
The Gaels will now host this game at the Hynes Athletic Center on Sunday (January 15) where they will look to continue their winning start as the Broncos look to end their losing run.
