6 games left

Six games remain, and the team is 16-8. How does the team perform through this stretch....with and without Troutman and Hamilton?

App
WCU
at Samford
at UTC
Davidson
UNCG

With Troutman: 5 -1 best case....4-2 most likely.....most likely losses would be Davidson and Samford (best case we pick up one of the Davidson/Samford games). Would like to see us run the table....but unlikely.

Without Troutman: 3-3 best case....2-4 most likely with losses App, WCU, Stamford, Davidson (best case we pick up either App or WCU games but don't see us getting both without Lucas)

With Troutman I'm guessing 4-2. Without Troutman I think it would be more like 1-5 or even 0-6. WCU, App, UTC and UNCG are athletic enough to take full advantage of him not being there.

With that said, if it is minor I would rather him sit out a couple of games and be at his best come tourney time. The way the north is I think two more wins could lock it up.

Go Phoenix!

EU99, I read it about the same as you at the moment.

A healthy Troutman is the best shot at a 20 win season (Did I just say that?).

Hey all,

New to the group, graduated from Elon in 2008. Been following this message board for a while now and figured I'd jump in the conversation. Pumped about the basketball program and the direction Coach Matheny has taken it since he came on board. The team can't stumble down the stretch here with six games to go. If we can go three and three (a win over Davidson would be icing) that should secure the North and a first round bye and then also put us in prime position to reach 20 wins come tourney time. As long as we stay healthy, I like our chance to win the SOCON tourney as much as any other teams over the next two years...
