Hofstra @ Elon

Current Records: Hofstra 13-8; Elon 2-18

What to Know

The Elon Phoenix and the Hofstra Pride will face off in a Colonial clash at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 26 at Schar Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Hofstra winning the first 97-64 on the road and the Phoenix taking the second 81-55.

It was close but no cigar for Elon as they fell 66-62 to the Towson Tigers on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Hofstra took their matchup against the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks last week by a conclusive 70-46 score. Guard Tyler Thomas took over for Hofstra, finishing with 28 points (a whopping 40% of their total) in addition to seven rebounds.

Elon is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

The Phoenix are now 2-18 while the Pride sit at 13-8. Hofstra is 8-4 after wins this year, and Elon is 1-16 after losses.
