Elon (2-1, 1-1 D1) vs. Abilene Christian (3-0, 2-0 D1) – 6:00 PM EST (Audio Only)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We only have one game today solely between a pair of UTR teams; that would be the Elon Phoenix and the Abilene Christian Wildcats. Both teams are part of the 4-team Tiger Thanksgiving Tournament at Pacific; this is a non-bracketed round-robin event also featuring Pacific and UC-Riverside. Elon will be playing their first D-1 opponent since their home opening loss to North Carolina two weeks ago. The Phoenix have 3 players so far that have shot at least 43% from 3-point range; they are their 3 leading scorers in Tyler Seibring, Steven Santa Ana and Dainan Swoope.
ACU is coming off of a nice road win at Denver last week; Payten Ricks scored 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting from the field for the Wildcats in their 67-61 victory. Jaren Lewis also had 19 points for the Wildcats as well.
