Pick
I get why Lipscomb is favored at home, but I think the value is with Queens here. The Royals have no postseason ahead of them, so every game is basically their biggest game as they want to build some positive momentum into the coming seasons as a D-I team. Lipscomb could use the win here and they’ve been at their best at home, but even if the Bisons win, I could see this being a game where it comes down to who gets the last shot. Give me Queens and the points.
