What should Elon fans expect from games in Milwaukee, Wisconsin? I did some quick research. ESPN has Elon as overwhelming favorites vs FIA (tonight) 90% chance of victory, St. Paul Concordia, a DII school, (Tomorrow) 97% chance of victory, and our final game vs Milwaukee is a toss up 50% chance of victory. At the worst we come back home 2-1 after playing FIA team selected bottom of Conference USA and a DII squad playing an exhibition game vs Elon. I will be anxious to watch Sunday's game. Last year we played well in Chicago/Northern Illinois over Thanksgiving.

It looks like the Friday and Saturday games will be available on Youtube and Sunday on ESPN3.
FIU is picked to finish near the bottom of CUSA, but they have been tight games the past few years. Milwaukee will be tough and I know nothing about Concordia. Looks like they struggled last year.
Go Phoenix!

Oh my Lord! We are really struggling right now. This reminds me of 4 years ago when we had almost everyone back and I expected at a minimum to be ahead of other teams finding their footing, only to be horrified by our play. It is a long season I know but this is a terrible sign

It is a long season I know but this is a terrible sign I was thinking exactly the same thing.

5’10” non athletic Swoope is driving the lane, 6’4” most athletic player on our team is not. Rather he is clanging 3 pt. attempts off the rim. SMH.

Triple overtime survival victory. Meech huge 3 pointer at end of regulation after being 0-6 for the game. Eberhardt with a nice contribution after Meech fouled out. Santa Ana showed positive offensive game. Dawkins had some nice cuts in overtime which Eberhardt found him. Truth of the matter is Florida International is bad. Be glad we have Swoope at point we could be FIU with Beard Jr. running the show who was horrible offensively.

Man, what an escape! Equal parts perseverance, clutch play, and some good fortune on FIU blowing chances to ice it. I will take it. Maybe this will get them going a bit. Should be an easy one tomorrow and players can get some rest before a tough one Sunday

Hold my last thought.... the D2 team is shooting lights out and Milwaukee is ice cold. Concordia is up 22 on Milwaukee at the half and doesn't look any different than the teams we are used to seeing so this may be no D2 layup after all

The D2 team was OK but not much of a contest. We will see if the team can regroup a bit today and play a decent game against the home team. Should be a tough one. Milwaukee is a slight favorite

Fantasy half shooting was phenomenal probably 70 percent. If we wouldn't give up second shots we could be up 30 points but I'll take a point lead!

We’re starting to choke this game away.

If this game isn't enough evidence of why Matheny needs to go, I'm not sure what you are watching. This is a team full of upperclassmen. The offense didn't do anything in the final minutes, literally nothing. Terrible coaching, terrible player development.

Talking about giving the game away. We have a timeout to use and we can’t even get the ball past half court.
We then don’t box out and get burned by an offensive rebound and lose.
This is a veteran team??!!! We again have no bench contributions.
My patience with this staff is about done. We should expect more. We should demand more.
