Florida Gulf Coast vs. Queens Prediction

I’m on the over here. I just don’t anticipate a whole lot of defense being played and Queens’ offense looked really good against Stetson. The defense? Not so much. Florida Gulf Coast has been scoring well into the 70s as well lately and I think this one ends up being high-scoring. Give me the over here.
