We’ve got another exciting Atlantic Sun matchup on schedule as the Jacksonville Dolphins and the Queens Royals are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on February 16th at The Levine Center. Jacksonville is no doubt hoping to put an end to a ten-game streak of away losses.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins couldn’t handle the Owls and fell 66-61. Jacksonville has not had much luck with the Owls recently, as the team’s come up short the last two times they’ve met.
Meanwhile, Queens’ recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their third straight defeat. They fell 93-79 to the Ospreys. Queens didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
The Dolphins’ defeat dropped their record down to 13-13. As for the Royals, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 10-16.
Friday’s matchup is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Jacksonville have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.9 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Queens struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 36.8 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Jacksonville skirted past the Royals 79-77 in their previous matchup back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Jacksonville since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
