"One-man-team!"- Elon haters gonna hate
Elon University (10-10, 5-4)
College of Charleston (13-9, 5-6)
Alumni Gym
Tipoff at 7 on ESPN 910 or via free live stream here:
The Cougars get their second shot at the Elon Phoenix tonight at Alumni Gym. Coach Byington and the guys will be looking to build off their road victory over Samford and attempt to sweep the Phoenix. Coincidentally, Elon was actually the last game the Cougars had one prior to that Monday night game against the Bulldogs. That was a game that was thoroughly dominated by Adjehi Baru and Trent Wiedeman at TD Arena more than two weeks ago.
Who wouldn't want to see another performance from our Twin Towers akin to that one? Sundberg is still listed as the starter for this one, but unless Baru's injury was re-aggravated, we could see Adjehi play 20 minutes or more. In their previous meeting, the Cougars held Elon's Lucas Troutman in check with just 9 points and 5 rebounds. They also limited the Phoenix to just 44 points on a God-awful 24% shooting clip. I doubt we see a performance that dreadful from Elon at home but maybe we have this team's number.
I really loved the hustle and intensity that the Cougars played with in the second half against Wofford and most of the game against Samford. They have little time to practice in the midst of this three game road trip so they will most likely have to again rely on grit and effort to gain a second straight victory. Elon is reeling a bit (not as much as us) and this could be a good confidence booster for the Cougars if we pull one out. I'll be looking for another good game by the bigs and I also want to see if Lawrence and Sundberg have finally rediscovered their outside stroke. Go Cougars!
