Break up the Phoenix
Okay SoCon hoops fans.
We've discussed UNCG's young talent and I got egg on my face by predicting a Davidson upset of UNC. But someone else is going to have to explain this one to me:
What's going on with Elon?
The Phoenix destroyed Chattanooga - the defending champs, by the way - on the road on Monday for its fourth straight win and third straight in the SoCon.
This - allegedly - is the same team that lost by 46 POINTS to Butler. The same team that started the season 2-9. The same team that didn't beat a Division I opponent until its 12th game of the season.
But that first D-I win was at Clemson. Ever since then, Elon has played like a bunch of world beaters.
So I ask you, dear SoCon fans. Is this Elon team for real? Can it contend at the least for the SoCon North title? Maybe even grab the league's NCAA berth?
If so, what the heck happened to this team?
