Sure I will be dramatic and say it's a must win game during the second game of the year. Any reason? Zero but winning at home in the nonconference could build support from the students and community.
Go Phoenix

Not a big crowd in here, but very lively. And LOUD when we hit the 3 at the halftime buzzer. A solid 1st half by Elon. If we can find a way to get about 1,000-1,200 more people in here for every game (about 2500), we would have a real home court advantage. That’s doable

I estimate the crowd at about 1,800 tonight. So perhaps a little bigger than I first made it out to be

This team is the most exciting group I’ve seen in an Elon basketball venue. We play fast pretty darn well. We need to get much better at playing slow. We tried to play slow with a 20 point lead to burn some minutes and very nearly lost the game. Kudos to the team and Coach Taylor on the home opener win.

Great win against a team who is going to contend for the SoCon crown. We are miles and miles better than the squad last year. We actually have some firepower! Yes, we caught the Bucs on not their best night, however we were due some luck. Looking forward to he season!!

Simpkins is chaos but such a high energy player that brings so much. He has to control it a bit. LA was effective scoring, but Higgins made some huge plays down the stretch to get the win. It will be entertaining in Schar this season.

Fun game last night! The fast-paced play is certainly a lot more exciting, but also a bit more nerve-racking if the team isn't executing well. Need to work on inbounding the ball and dealing with pressure. I do love how balanced the offense is so far. I feel like there are several guys who can score, which opens things up a lot.
Agree with the Simpkins assessment. He's tough to defend. If he can start finishing at the rim a little better, he'll be even more of a threat.
Go Phoenix!
