Florida Gulf Coast vs Queens NC Prediction

I’m on Florida Gulf Coast here. I could get the case to be made for Queens if this game was being played on a neutral floor. However, the ASUN has the higher seed hosting at campus sites in their tournament, so the lower seed in essence is just playing another true road game, which didn’t bode well for Queens in the last meeting. I think that home court proves to be the difference here, as Florida Gulf Coast bags a win and cover to advance in the tournament.
