Queens Royals vs Stetson Hatters prediction
The Stetson Hatters are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. Stetson is 11-2 SU at home this season. With that said, the Queens Royals have the benefit of playing yesterday and getting the feel of a tournament game out of the way. We’ve also seen, over the years, teams have success playing in back to backs in tournaments. Stetson hasn’t played in four days, so who knows how the rest will play a role. Queens also beat Stetson a couple of weeks ago on the road as 5.5 point underdogs. I’ll take a shot with the Royals and the points.
