Elon vs Charleston Stats
Elon Phoenix
Elon's basketball team has had a solid overall record of 15-9, but they have suffered four losses in their last six games, bringing their CAA mark down to 6-5. Most recently, they were defeated by Campbell with a score of 76-58 due to poor performance on both ends of the court. Despite having four players who average 13 points or more, the team struggles with shooting only 30.7% from three-point range. They will need to focus on inside scoring in their upcoming games. In terms of statistics, Elon is ranked 173 in offense and 68 in defense, with notable rankings in various shooting percentages and rebounding. They will need to improve their three-point shooting and turnovers in order to get back on track.
Charleston Cougars Analysis
Former head coach Pat Kelsey departed for Louisville following the 2023-24 season, but new head coach Chris Mack has the Charleston Cougars performing well. With a current record of 18-6 overall and 8-3 in league play, Charleston remains a formidable opponent in the CAA. Despite their success, the Cougars have struggled to blow out opponents, as seen in their recent close victory over North Carolina A&T. Led by top scorer Ante Brzovic and guards Deywilk Tavarez and Derrin Boyd, Charleston averages over 77 points per game on offense and allows just under 75 points per game on defense. Their shooting percentages and rebounding stats rank in the middle of the pack nationally.
Charleston's Home-Court Advantage Makes Them the Smart Bet Against Struggling Elon
Choosing Charleston as the favored team may not always bring the excitement one hopes for due to their proclivity for closely contested games. However, despite the modest point spread in this match-up, the Cougars' strong performance should not be underestimated. Conversely, Elon seems to be struggling in recent weeks, making their ability to compete with Charleston questionable. Adding to the difficulty, the fact that Charleston has the home-court advantage in this game further complicates matters for the Phoenix. Based on these factors, it is advisable to place your confidence in Charleston and anticipate a margin of victory that allows for a few points to be given.
