We lost our play on Western Carolina +6 on Saturday, and we certainly do not trust the Catamounts in this big favorite role today.
After all Western Carolina is now just 7-11 SU overall, as opposing teams are averaging 75.8 points per game on an unacceptable 46.2 percent shooting from the floor. When you consider that the Catamounts are hitting on just 40.9 percent of their shots themselves, it is no wonder that they have a losing record. Yes they are 3-1 ATS in their last four games even with the loss on Saturday, but remember that they were underdogs in all four of those contests.
Now Elon is no great shakes at 4-13 SU, but they have actually been very competitive lately. The Phoenix were simply outclassed in a 67-45 loss at Charleston on Saturday, but their previous five losses were by an average of just -4.0 points, and they even won outright on the road at Appalachian State recently. Finally Elon took Western Carolina to overtime in this building last year, so the Phoenix should not be intimidated by these surroundings.
