They averaged 84.0 points scored and 75.8 points allowed during this stretch. Their recent form includes back-to-back wins against North Florida and Jacksonville, where they scored 91 and 93 points respectively. However, the Royals have faced challenges on the defensive end, particularly in their last five games, where they allowed an average of 81.6 points.
The matchup was particularly interesting as both teams had split their previous two meetings, with each team winning once in the 2025 season. In their last encounter on February 21, 2025, Queens lost to Austin Peay 78-92 at home, while they secured a 67-60 victory earlier that season on January 11.
