Current Records: James Madison 11-3; Elon 4-13

What to Know

The James Madison Dukes and the Elon Phoenix are set to square off in a Colonial matchup at 4 p.m. ET Jan. 17 at Schar Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Dukes winning the first 70-61 on the road and Elon taking the second 72-71.

James Madison came out on top in a nail-biter against the William & Mary Tribe this past Saturday, sneaking past 95-91.

Meanwhile, Elon was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 59-54 to the Towson Tigers.

Barring any buzzer beaters, James Madison is expected to win a tight contest Monday. Those burned by picking them against the spread this past Saturday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

James Madison is now 11-3 while the Phoenix sit at 4-13. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Dukes enter the matchup with 10.5 steals per game on average, good for seventh best in college basketball. Less enviably, Elon has allowed their opponents an average of 7.6 steals per game, the 38th most in college basketball. In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
