What to Know

The Towson Tigers won both of their matches against the Elon Phoenix last season (59-54 and 86-50) and are aiming for the same result Saturday. Towson and Elon will face off in a Colonial battle at 4 p.m. ET at Schar Center. The Tigers will be strutting in after a victory while Elon will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Towson didn't have too much trouble with the North Carolina A&T Aggies on the road on Thursday as they won 79-67. Towson got double-digit scores from four players: guard Nygal Russell (18), guard Nicolas Timberlake (17), guard Sekou Sylla (15), and forward Charles Thompson (13).

Meanwhile, the Phoenix came up short against the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks on Monday, falling 62-54.
