Two wins away from 20, and a big game tonight!
The team sits at 18-8, and was one of USA Today's breakout teams of the season.
They've never won at Samford, but handled them pretty well earlier in the month.
Think we'll come out with the win tonight, and be just 1 game shy of a 20 win season?

It would be fantastic for the team to achieve the 20 game mark, but our game tonight has much more significance. A win for Elon means a clinch of the Northern Division and probably a #2 seed. A loss gives Samford a possibility of taking the Northern Division crown.
When they were here last month we won by 11 but it really wasn't that close as our scout players got significant minutes. The biggest factor last game was the match up between their star freshman Tim Williams and Lucas Troutman. That day Lucas had 26 points, 10 boards and 6 blocks. Williams also had a good day at 19 points but Lucas got the better of that match up. It'll be interesting to see if they keep Williams on Lucas for tonight's game. Lucas should be ready to go for tonight although I'm sure his ankle won't be 100%. I hope Jack climbs out of his slump tonight as well.

The team looked a little sluggish the last outing against WCU, but as you say, good teams find ways to win.
The team should be pumped. A chance to win the North outright with 3 games remaining after tonight.
Troutman needs to play big!

WOW! Make that 1! I hope NOT to see Troutman Saturday night. The tournament is shaping up to be a heck of a time.
Congratulations to the team for gutting out another one & winning the Northern Division outright.
Did I say WOW?!

Assuming you're talking about the Lucas statement; for the last 2 games he has obviously not been close to 100%. We need him back at 100% or as close as he can get for the tournament. Rest and further treatment is the only way he'll get there.
