I find this point spread more than fair to back Cleveland State, who I consider to be superior to Queens. So does the respected Ken Pomeroy ratings. He has Cleveland State ranked 165th and Queen's 205th. 

Cleveland State plays in a much better conference, too, competing in the Horizon League. The Royals are in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Queens finished only sixth in that conference. 

The Royals are 242nd defensively giving up 74.1 points a game. They are a terrible free throw shooting team, too.

The Vikings rate 39th defensively, surrendering eight points fewer per game than the Royals.
