The college basketball season will begin with an unusual morning game when Queens and Winthrop meet Monday in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The contest is part of the Field of 68 Opening Day Marathon, an event designed to showcase mid-major basketball throughout the day.
Queens and Winthrop are familiar opponents after meeting during last season's opening-day event. Winthrop earned an 81-74 victory in that contest, overcoming a late deficit in a game that featured plenty of offensive action. Monday's rematch offers Queens an opportunity to reverse that result while giving Winthrop another chance to begin its season with a statement victory.

Queens Has a Dangerous Offensive Weapon
Queens guard Jordan Watford is a player worth watching entering the new season. Watford developed into an important offensive contributor as a freshman and proved particularly effective at drawing fouls.
His ability to attack defenders could create problems for Winthrop, especially if the game becomes physical.
Freshman Caleb Jones also provides Queens with an interesting new option after producing strong scoring performances during exhibition play.
