Queens vs North Florida Prediction

I’ll stick with Queens here. The Royals posted a nice win over a struggling Jacksonville team in a road matchup this week, logging 49.1 percent shooting from the field and 48.1 percent (13-of-27) from outside. Queens hit just 10-of-17 (58.8 percent) from the line however, and got outmuscled on the boards 32-30. Still, with three straight wins in the bag (following three straight losses during a tough run of games last month), Queens is sitting pretty with 77 or more points in each of those victories.

As for the Ospreys, they shot a decent 44.4 percent from the field in their latest loss to West Georgia but also allowed 48.4 percent on the other side. North Florida was fairly competitive in most other aspects of the game, but simply couldn’t keep up the offensive pace. This will be another tricky one for the Ospreys, but at least it’s at home.
