Current Records: William & Mary 3-12; Elon 4-10

What to Know

The William & Mary Tribe lost both of their matches to the Elon Phoenix last season on scores of 54-75 and 54-73, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. William & Mary and Elon will face off in a Colonial battle at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Schar Center. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

The Northeastern Huskies typically have all the answers at home, but this past Friday the Tribe proved too difficult a challenge. William & Mary escaped with a win by the margin of a single free throw, 71-70. They got double-digit scores from five players: guard Julian Lewis (14), forward Ben Wight (13), guard Tyler Rice (12), guard Yuri Covington (11), and guard Connor Kochera (10).

Meanwhile, Elon wrapped up 2021 with a 79-62 win over Northeastern. Among those leading the charge for the Phoenix was guard Darius Burford, who had 23 points along with five boards.

The wins brought the Tribe up to 3-12 and Elon to 4-10. Two stats to keep an eye on: William & Mary is 15th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 62.1 on average. Elon has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 27th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.1 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
