Tonight Elon will host the Virginia University of Lynchburg. Not much on this team, but there a small college and a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association. Should be an easy win, and a chance to work on some issues. Lets hope we dont play sloppy

should be a fun game to watch, and for the players to play...they grinded through some tough games these past two weeks...

It's flat out embarrassing we are playing a non-NCAA school.

I was VERY impressed with our team's focus. The players all focused on the job when it may have been easy to let down our guard and get sloppy. 111 - 55 final score, 67 boards, 47% from the field including 39% on 3 pointers. 73% from the stripe. We had 14 turnovers, which is a little more than I'd like to see but if you look at the TO/Possession ratio, that's pretty darned good too.
Overall a great showing from the Phoenix.

I too hate seeing us play sub DI teams, especially non NCAA schools. But, it gave them a good full speed practice. |

Kind of like a mid-season scrimmage game, I guess. I watched on-line, although sound was not working and it kept freezing up, so I missed a lot of the play action. Gave good experience to some of the bench players who have not seen a lot of court time this year. Some of the turnovers occurred during those last minutes but they scored some, too. Think we still some work on playing physical without fouling though. I know nothing about VUL (is it the same as Lynchburg College?), but guys looked like they were having fun last night.

I saw other CAA schools schedule similar games (W&M scheduled a D3 school and UNCW scheduled a NAIA team) - i'm fine with it, gives the team an opportunity to try some things. Our out of conference schedule overall is very strong.
