Iona won the game on a final possession basket, completing a comeback to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a defensive-minded contest. Merrimack's stingy defense controlled the tempo for much of the game, frustrating Iona's offense and building a lead that stretched into the second half. The Gaels struggled to find any offensive rhythm, but they stayed within striking distance through sheer effort on the defensive end. As the clock wound down, Iona mounted a frantic final push, culminating in a game-winning score in the paint with just seconds remaining.
