Key Factors to Consider
- Queens has been on a recent hot streak offensively, averaging 87 points in their last 3 games, showcasing strong scoring ability led by Yoav Berman (15.2 PPG). Furman's offense, led by Alex Wilkins (14.6 PPG), is less prolific but benefits from a strong defensive system, having won impressively over Ohio Christian 79-44 recently. Furman struggles on the road, while Queens plays well away from home.
- Limited head-to-head data is available for recent seasons between these two teams. This is their first meeting this season, and historical matchups are scarce, reducing direct comparative insight.
- No significant injury reports for either team as of match time, suggesting both starters and bench players are available.
- The game takes place at Furman's Timmons Arena, giving them home-court advantage with familiar surroundings and local fan support. The match is part of a broader mid-season tournament setting, adding strategic motivation for both squads.
- Furman looks to bounce back after an inconsistent start and desperately needs a home win to build momentum. Queens aims to continue their offensive surge and push their record over .500. Both teams are motivated to assert dominance early in the season.
