Game! Of! The! Night! Jan 27: Elon at Davidson
We're sticking with the SoCon tonight. North-leading Elon has streaked to a 6-0 record and has won eight straight games. How are they doing it? Certainly not by shooting the ball: their 42% team FG rate is second-to-last in the league. And how they've been managing without the services of Chris Porn, the best name in D1, is anybody's guess. Their secret so far has been defense - the Phoenix have allowed a second-best 62.5 ppg in league games, and they're winning a lot of close games. That defense will be severely tested tonight by South co-leader Davidson, who's scored 80.2 per SoCon contest. The No. 96 Wildcats are also the only team in the league to have a double-digit RPI number; they'll try to break their one-game losing streak tonight at home.
