SERIES HISTORY
Queens and Brigham Young are set to meet for the second time in series history on Tuesday night. This will be the fourth all-time game against a Big 12 program for the Royals after facing Oklahoma State last week and playing both BYU and Utah in the 2024-25 season. BYU took the 2024 meeting versus Queens by a score of 99-55.
SCOUTING BRIGHAM YOUNG
For the first time since 1979-81, BYU is ranked in the Preseason AP Poll in consecutive years and are one of six Big 12 schools represented. Entering the week, the Cougars are ranked 23rd. BYU is 2-0 so far, defeating Ohio State (94-83) and Omaha (108-67).
Third year Head Coach Kevin Young has led the Cougars to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances including a Sweet 16 run in 2025. He is one of seven active head coaches with a No.1 overall pick after AJ Dybantsa was selected first overall by the Washington Wizards.
Preseason All-American Robert Wright III returns after averaging 18 points per game last season. He is joined by five-star freshman Bruce Branch III and transfers Collin Chandler, Tyler Betsey, Jaxon Kohler, and Jake Wahlin.
After four years at Michigan State, Kohler joins BYU after averaging a career-best 12 points and 8 rebounds last season. Robert Wright III impressed in the season-opening win over Ohio State, scoring a career-high 35 points.
The Cougars lead the Big 12 and are 11th nationally averaging 11 three-pointers made per game.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Nasir Mann was named the ASUN Player of the Week after an impressive start to the season. Through the first week of the season, Mann's 28-point performance in the win over Loyola Marymount is the individual high for the ASUN while being second in the conference averaging 19.3 points per game across the three games played.
Mann has scored efficiently as well, shooting 61.8% from the floor ranking second in the ASUN. From behind the arc, Mann has made 10 of his 18 attempts.
PLAY FAST
Queens leads the ASUN and rank 70th in the nation in fastbreak points per game (17.67). Avanate Parker's seven blocked shots also lead the ASUN and are the 10th most nationally.
ASUN FAVORITES
The Royals were picked first in the preseason Atlantic Sun coaches' poll, receiving five of the eight first place votes. Avantae Parker was named the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year while earning All-Conference recognition alongside Nasir Mann and Jordan Watford. Queens and UCONN are the only two teams in the country to return three non-conference players from last season.
NEW FACES
In addition to returning Parker, Watford, and Mann, the Royals bring back Isaiah Henry who is poised for a breakout sophomore season in an expanded role. Corbin Pack (Wingate) and Rickey Ballard (Grambling State) join Queens as graduate transfers while Caleb Jones, Nic McLean, and Atakan Bicer bring potential as incoming freshmen.
The freshmen duo of Caleb Jones and Nic McLean impressed in their collegiate debuts, combining for 29 points off the bench in the win over Winthrop. McLean scored 14 points to go along with three steals and two made three-pointers. Perhaps the play of the game down the stretch was Jones' three-pointer with a minute remaining to extend the Queens lead to 96-88. For the game, Jones totaled 15 points on six of seven shooting from the floor.
Caleb Jones came up big once again in the win against Loyola Marymount, creating a steal in the closing seconds that ultimately led to Jordan Watford's game-winning free throw.
HOME OPENER
Queens will open the season inside Curry Arena on Saturday (Nov. 14) hosting the Wofford Terriers. Game time is set for 2:00 p.m., streaming live on ESPN+. Fans can purchase tickets for the game here.
