Elon at Northern Illinois

Elon slipped past Illinois Chicago in their opener 81-70, shooting a blistering 51.6% from the field. That moved the Phoenix to 3-1 on the season. Northern Illinois gets an opportunity as a de facto home team here, as the fans should be on their side with the game being played not far from campus. The edge here should be off the glass where the Huskies have out-rebounded four of their five opponents on the season, and own a +6.2 edge off the glass. Coach Matheny's Elon squads are just 6-17 ATS when playing two games in three days since he took over the program. Play on Northern Illinois.
