SCOUTING ELON
Last season, Elon went 17-16 overall and 8-10 in conference play in the Coastal Athletic Conference. The Mountaineers were picked 12th out of 13 teams in the CAA Preseason Coaches Poll. Mercer marks the second of four Southern Conference opponents on Elon's schedule this season. The Phoenix opened the stretch with a 92–90 overtime win at UNCG on Nov. 8 and will follow the Mercer matchup with back-to-back dates against Furman (Dec. 3) at home and Wofford (Dec. 6) in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Elon was a member of the SoCon for 11 seasons (2003–14). Graduate forward and first-year Phoenix Chandler Cuthrell has been an imposing offensive force, ranking second in the CAA and 11th nationally with 22.7 points per game through six outings. He earned CAA Player of the Week honors on Nov. 17 after posting back-to-back career highs of 28 and 29 points against Marshall (Nov. 12) and Gardner-Webb (Nov. 15).
