Elon vs William & Mary (Mon 12/30, 7:00 pm on CBSSN)

Hey guys, just a heads up that if you get the CBS Sports Network you can catch this game live on TV (or streaming through the CBS sports app I believe). I just like to try and highlight games that are actually available to watch on a TV channel as opposed to just streaming on flosports in case anybody missed it on the schedule page. Go Phoenix!

I already subscribe to the ESPN+ and watch ESPN. The dipsh!t CAA leadership decides to go to the off brand FloSports. So like an idiot, I subscribe to that, (which is something I said I wouldn’t do), and tonight the game is on the CBS Sports app... WTF ELON!! Are you trying to piss off your fans or what?? I couldn’t get home early enough to set my DVR and there are no replays on CBS Sports. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

It's a bummer you didn't get to record, but getting a nationally televised home game is a big deal for Elon and the CAA. At this level of basketball that can be a legit selling point in recruiting. Shame we couldn't pull it out in the end.

I’m just griping. I went to the game. The biggest thing I took away was our coaching staff knows what they’re doing. They definitely out coached their W&M counterparts. The best players on the court were Knight, who is a serious beast and Sheffield. W&M has a 7 footer who, if he was used better, could have done a lot more damage. Every time he posted up, he scored or was fouled & he made every free throw. Hannah deserves the game ball. Even though he was smaller, he was effective without fouling last night and had a BIG impact. Sheffield drives the lane and does pull up shots with a touch like no one we’ve ever had at Elon. I hope another player can learn from him for next year.

I’m just grumpy that I couldn’t rewatch the game with Announcers and replays.

I was there too. Bummed Elon missed FT's late in the second half and it ultimately cost them. I like the Hunter's and Zac Ervin is going to be a good one too. I saw there were four NBA scouts at the game seated behind the basket where the Elon bench was. I was thinking the same thing about their seven footer, he was good. Scrappy effort by Elon and they are better coached than when I saw them in person last (December 2018 vs Towson).

How is the Flosports production for CAA? They were awful covering D.C. United to the point that United killed their deal towards the end of their first year.

4-10 is a little discouraging but I guess we knew that heading in.

The scouts were probably there to see Knight and Sheffield. They both put on a show. The Flosports product from Elon is very good. I assume that’s primarily because Elon does everything but the actual feed. If you’ve never taken a tour of the Schar, request one before you go next time. The video production room could make ESPN jealous.

B TW if you haven’t ordered Flosports and want to, go through the elonphoenix.com website. It’s less expensive than going straight through the Flosports website.

Regarding the scouts, yeah, that's what I was thinking. W&M won again last night so I'll keep my eye on them moving forward. Their coach Dane Fischer, was an assistant at George Mason the past four years. He has a nice team this year.

Would love to get the tour of Schar and I'd love to see their video production room. Wish I could make it down more than once a year but when we go, we have fun.
