Coming off a tough loss at Western Carolina, Elon returns home tomorrow night to face App State at Alumni Gym. App has yet to defeat a Division I opponent this season, so Elon needs to get this one and Saturday's game against Citadel before a tough four-game swing (at Davidson, UMass, at Chattanooga, at Samford).
A game back home in Alumni Gym with students and a decent crowd could be what the doctor ordered.

Maybe we'll be the first. I'll be honest, this team is a huge let down right now and so is Matheny.

App's "big star", Jay Canty, returns to the court tonight. They have no D1 wins and will be looking for their first against their biggest "non rival".

Big game tonight as it will be very diffcult to win the conference if we start 0-2.

Interesting game - not sure we took a 3-pt. shot whole first half - good to see the guys set up plays to work the ball in, although it was pretty clear App was expecting the 3-pt. shots and guarding the perimeter pretty well. App made adjustments at half and closed in on our lead, but thankfully, our guys were able to keep the lead. Ryan Winters had an awesome game - too bad he got in foul trouble. Jack looks like he's getting back into his old form - rust seems to be gone from his injury. Hopefully injury to Ryley is not serious...won't know until today.

I thought the 1st half looked good, especially defensively, but I don't think Lucas scored but 2 points in the first. Jack looked to be the only motivated player on the court last night but he isn't a point guard. Bad and lackadaisical passes by Jack for turnovers were irritating. The whole team, other than Jack and Ryley looked afraid to take a shot. All in all, I'm happy for the win, but I felt App gave the game to us rather than us winning it. No doubt VMI is a much better team than App. But we played nowhere near as motivated a game as we did against VMI. |
