Louis and crossed one time zone east. The last meeting came 364 days ago, and Queens lost it.

What Are the Winthrop vs Queens University Odds?
The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. Winthrop +105 at Caesars means a $100 bet profits $105 if Winthrop wins. Queens -113 at Courtside means a $100 bet profits $88.50. Strip out the vig (the house cut baked into every price) and the market reads Queens 52.8% to Winthrop 47.2%.
The spread is a bet on the margin. Winthrop +1.5 at -110 at FanDuel wins if Winthrop wins or loses by 1. Queens -1.5 at +102 at Courtside wins only if Queens wins by 2 or more. The consensus opened Queens -2 and now sits at -1.5, and three books moved Winthrop's side from +1.5 to +0.5.
The total is a bet on combined points: 167.5, with the Over -106 at Courtside and the Under -110 at Caesars. It opened 165.5 and climbed after 3 moves. BetMGM moved first, 166.5 to 167.5 at 6:55 PM ET, and 10 more books followed within 10 minutes. Prices differ by book, so always shop for the best number.
Where the Value Is
Expected value is your average result per $100 risked over many identical bets. Here, every price is negative. Compare Winthrop's moneyline at minus $3.33, Winthrop +1.5 at minus $1.69, Queens -1.5 at minus $2.02, the Over at minus $2.83 and the Under at minus $4.55. There is no clear edge. Queens is simply the ticket closest to fair.
The Pick
We lean Queens University Royals moneyline at -113 at Courtside. It is a thin lean, best kept to a small stake, and only at -113 or better. At a worse price, passing is the smart play.
