Queens, the only NCAA Division II team participating, was added to the four-team field on short notice and went 1-2 during the three-day tournament. The Royals lost by one, 66-65, to George Mason University on Thursday before knocking off Howard University by an 85-71 score on Friday. Play concluded on Saturday afternoon when Queens suffered a 73-61 exhibition loss at the hands of 2019-20 NCAA Tournament qualifier Belmont University.
