Queens vs. Lipscomb Key Players to Watch

Queens

Leo Colimerio: The Queens forward had a strong game against Florida Gulf Coast in the quarterfinal, racking up 21 points, three rebounds, and six assists while shooting 58.2% from the field. If he puts up those numbers again tonight, Queens is going to have a chance to pull off the upset.

Lipscomb

Jacob Ognacevic: Lipscomb will go as far as Jacob Ognacevic will take them. He's leading the team both in points (20.3) and rebounds (8.0) per game. Queens will have to find a way to slow him down if they want any hope of upsetting the Bisons tonight.

Queens vs. Lipscomb Prediction and Pick

Both teams play a similar style of basketball, but it's Lipscomb that does things better. They both rank in the top 80 in the country in three-point shot rate, but the Bisons keep teams to shooting just 31.5% from beyond the arc, while the Royals give up a three-point field goal percentage of 34.7%, which ranks 239th in the country.

Turnovers could also prove to be a problem for Queens. The Royals rank 255th in turnovers per possession, coughing it up on 17.8% of their possessions. Meanwhile, Lipscomb ranks 19th in that stat, turning it over on only 14.1% of their possessions and 12.8% of their possessions over their last three games.

I'll lay the points with the Bisons tonight.
