High Point vs Queens 12/9/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Queens University Royals and the High Point Panthers meet in college basketball action from the Qubein Arena on Friday night.

The Queens University Royals will be looking to build on an 89-60 win over subdivision Paine last time out. Kenny Dye leads the Royals in scoring and assists with 16.7 PPG and 4.3 APG along with 3.8 RPG while AJ McKee has 12.3 PPG with 5 RPG and Jay’Den Turner has 10.2 PPG with 7.1 RPG to finish off the trio of double-digit scorers for Queens University up to this point in the season. Gavin Rains also has a team-high 10.4 RPG to lead the Royals on the glass up to this point in the season. As a team, Queens University is averaging 81.1 PPG on 48.2% shooting from the field, 34.3% from behind the arc and 69.9% from the foul line this season.

The High Point Panthers will hope to keep things rolling after an 85-82 win over Furman last time out. Jaden House leads High Point in scoring with 22.1 PPG along with 4.8 RPG while Abdoulaye Thiam has 15.4 PPG with 4.3 RPG and Zack Austin has 15.4 PPG with 6.2 RPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for High Point so far this season. Bryant Randleman has a team-high 3.2 APG to lead High Point in assists while Emmanuel Izunabor and Ahmard Harvey each have 6.7 RPG this season. As a team, High Point is averaging 86.3 PPG on 47.6% shooting from the field, 36% from three point range and 65.5% from the foul line this season.

Queens University is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. High Point is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.

This should be a great matchup as High Point’s been playing well out of the gate, while Queens U has definitely looked a lot better than a team making their first foray into D-I after coming up last season. That being said, I like the over here. High Point can score, but the Panthers have had a tendency to find themselves in some faster-paced games so far this year and I honestly think this game will end up being no different. Give me the over here.
