Result: Loss
Queens NC is coming into this game with a 3-3 record this season. They are in their 3rd season of being in Division I and they will be hungry to step up this season after a bit of a down year last season. They opened the season with 2 straight wins, beating a team not from Division I and beating Western Carolina by 13 points, but they hit the road and lost their next 3 straight games. They were not easy games though as they lost 3 straight road games against much stronger opponents from better conferences, losing by over 30 points to Utah, losing by over 40 points to BYU, and losing by 12 points to Appalachian State. They are coming off of a win in their last game though, beating Sacramento State by 24 points in this building, so they are going to have some confidence coming into this game. They are going up against an East Tennessee State team that is 3-2 this season but they have not been playing well in their recent games. They are also coming off of a win against Sacramento State in their last game, but that game was a home game for them and they only won by 11 points. Their other 2 wins this season both came at home against teams that do not play in Division I so they have not really been tested at all this season. They have a road loss to Davidson by 6 points as well, but their other loss came at home by 4 points to Eastern Kentucky. Queens NC has been playing a much stronger schedule which is going to benefit them in a game like this and they will be able to hang in the game with East Tennessee State, not allowing them to pull away as East Tennessee State has not been winning many games by a lot against Division I opponents. Queens NC will cover the spread in this game.
