#306530 ASA PLAY ON Florida Gulf Coast +3.5 over Queens, Thursday at 7 PM ET - Huge home game for FGCU who sits at 1-3 in ASUN play but they are ranked per KenPom as the 4th best team in the conference. They are coming off back to back home losses vs Austin Peay and Lipscomb, who are the 2 highest rated teams in the league. That puts the Eagles in must win mode at home as they can’t afford to fall too far behind in the conference race. Tonight they take on Queens who is playing their 3rd straight road game in the span of 8 days. The Royals are 4-0 in conference play but they haven’t faced any of the top 5 teams in the Atlantic Sun and 2 of their wins have come against the 2 worst teams in the league, Jacksonville and North Florida. Both of those 2 opponents are ranked outside the top 300 and those are the Royals only 2 road wins this season. They also just happened to come last Thursday and Saturday, so Queens is off 2 straight road wins vs bad teams and now take a solid step up in their 3rd straight road game vs a desperate team. Overall for the season the Royals are 2-7 SU on the road losing by an average of 15 PPG. They shoot just 44% away from home while allowing their opponents to make 52% of their shots. Their defense stinks 340th in efficiency, 336th in opponent’s eFG%, and 343rd defending the arc. They’ll have rough time tonight facing an FGCU offense that hits 47% of their shots at home and averages 86 PPG. Queens hasn’t beaten a single top 200 team this season (FGCU ranks 189th) and we don’t see them winning on the road here. We like Florida Gulf Coast to get the outright win or, at the very least, the underdog ATS cover at home tonight.

He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- New York is 3-12 ATS in its last 15 games.

- New York is 1-4 in its last 5 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

*Free Play Over* No I don't think there will be 194 points in this matchup like there were when these two met in late December. The shooting percentages in that one were very high.

Still, I think this total is set too low. Northeastern has seen 6 of their last 7 games go over this very high total. The Huskies defense has been terrible this year, but their offense is great.

Elon is 306th in defensive efficiency. The Phoenix are first in the league in offensive efficiency though. They shoot it well, and they should get second chance opportunities here against a poor defensive rebounding Northeastern team.

Take the over.
