What to Know

The Elon Phoenix have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. Elon and the Hofstra Pride will face off in a Colonial battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Mack Sports Complex. Hofstra will be strutting in after a win while the Phoenix will be stumbling in from a loss.

On Saturday, Elon lost to the Drexel Dragons at home by a decisive 71-60 margin.

Meanwhile, it was a close one, but on Saturday Hofstra sidestepped the Northeastern Huskies for a 76-73 victory.

Elon is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Now might not be the best time to take Elon against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.

The Phoenix are now 8-21 while the Pride sit at 19-9. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Elon is 52nd worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.3 on average.
