Elon 56 Furman 70
Elon 62 UNCG 74

Highly unlikely Elon holds Furman to 70.

Elon 63 Furman 84

[Elon Man]

39-29 at half. If we lose by 20 is that a moral victory. I can see the quote

Reporter: thoughts on the game?
Coach: I think we played really hard and had a lot of fun playing a good team and even though we didn’t win I think we played well enough to give them a game.
Reporter: but coach you lost by 20.
Coach: ya but we don’t look at the scoreboard. We go out there and try really really hard. And we gave it all we could so that has to count for something. It’s the best we played in a few weeks.
Reporter: so your struggling against D-1 teams, thoughts?
Coach: we’re having a lot of fun. And hey we beat a couple D3/D2 teams. A win is a win.

This sucks.

Here’s what’s going on with area mid-majors:

-Furman is ranked (congrats to FU though, that’s huge!!!).
-Radford is receiving votes and beats Notre Dame and #17 Texas.
-UNCG is 7-2 nipping at the heals of Kentucky AND LSU.
-Wofford is 6-2 having beat South Carolina (something Elon did a couple times years back)....
-Longwood...even freaking Longwood is 6-3 at the moment.

Meanwhile, Elon is going backwards.

This is getting old...

Against D-1 competition, I wonder what the scoring difference in the 2nd half (and especially, the last 5 minutes) is?

They Stink, no excuse to be down by 6 with 10 minutes to go and lose by 20+. Matheny needs to go!

Since you asked, the Phoenix have been outscored in all 6 games in the second half by a grand total of 48 points. I threw out the UNC game as well as the two Division 2 games as none of those are good to look at. Furman hit them with a 59 spot in the second half tonight

I remember some of us asking for Matheny to be replaced 2 years ago. Man, I wish it had happened and they didn't waste another class
