North Florida vs. Queens Prediction: Can Bryce Cash, Royals Take Down Ospreys?
Last year was the first D1 season for Queen’s University. They over-performed to say the least, and had a star running the point in Kenny Dye. It has taken Coach Leonard and the Royals a while to get going this season without their star, but they might have found another one in Bryce Cash.

North Florida vs. Queens Prediction
Cash has been a star for the Royals down the stretch, so much so that he’s taken minutes away from veterans on this team. Cash is only a freshman, and the hometown kid keeps on playing better and better as the season carries on.
When Queens and North Florida faced off earlier this season, Cash had one of his best games of his freshman season. I’m willing to bet Coach Leonard leans on his freshman a little more on Wednesday, a great sign for Queens' bettors.
Bryce Cash isn’t the only beast in this Queens backcourt. AJ McKee is still the Royals’ best scorer. The junior is coming off a 31-point performance against Austin Peay in a heartbreaking one-point loss. I’m willing to bet Queens' bounces back in a big way at home, coming off that brutal loss as they look to get revenge against a team that destroys them a couple of weeks ago.
Queens’ runs one of the quickest tempos in the country. North Florida doesn’t like to run much. I wouldn’t be surprised if this game gets out of control for UNF right out of the gates. This Queens' team might be coming off of two losses, but their offense is in a much better spot since the first time these two teams faced off.
There’s a reason the Royals have moved from a short favorite to -3.5 on the spread at some books. If a 10-16 Queen’s team coming off back-to-back losses is a favorite against a team they got destroyed against only a couple of weeks ago, it’s probably for a reason. Back the Royals on the spread tonight; they get their revenge against the Ospreys who enter this game losing four of their last five. Their records might not show it yet, but these teams are trending in opposite directions.
