Elon Phoenix vs Charleston Cougars 1/14/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Elon Phoenix will go against the #22 Charleston Cougars in NCAAB action in TD Arena, Boston, on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at 4:00 PM ET.

Last year, Elon finished 10-22 overall and 7-11 in the CAA. At this moment, they would dearly love to hold the conference record.

Following their victory over non-Division I Johnson & Wales Charlotte on December 11, the Phoenix dropped seven straight games.

Elon does not have a Division I victory this year as they began the season with a victory over Erskine. They are placed 347th overall according to KenPom, and their schedule strength is 254.

The Phoenix lost to North Carolina A&T 80-71 at home in their most recent game. Despite Torrence Watson having a solid game with 15 points and nine rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting in 25 minutes, they only shot 37% from the floor.

Elon is in desperate need of a victory, and perhaps they can catch Charleston off guard. The good news is that they will be receiving some injured players back, including Butler transfer Jerald-Gillens-Butler.

In spite of his poor shooting performance (1-for-7) against the Aggies, the 6-5, 225-pound wing is capable of scoring if he stays healthy.

Phoenix’s problems begin on offense, as they average just 66.8 points per game (307th), on 41.6% of their shots (316th), and with a 29.9% three-point shooting percentage (327th).

The Elon Phoenix is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 matches.
The total went OVER in 5 of Elon’s last 7 matches.
The Phoenix is 0-7 SU in their last 7 matches.

Elon Phoenix vs Charleston Cougars Predictions 1/14/2023

Charleston’s 16-game winning streak and 17-1 overall record did not come easily. On December 31, they defeated Towson 76-74 in overtime, and on January 11, they defeated UNCW 71-69 in front of a sold-out Trask Coliseum crowd.

As a ranked team in the CAA, the Cougars now have a bullseye on their backs, but they are treating each game like it’s their Super Bowl because they want an at-large spot.

They now hold the 43rd spot in the crucial NCAA Net Rankings, which will determine whether they receive a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament or a coveted at-large CAA bid.

Except for rebounding, Charleston doesn’t generally lead the CAA in other metric categories. They are ranked #1 in both offensive rebounding percentage and rebounding margin (+6.33).

The team do top the league in both points scored per game (80.3) and free throw percentage (75.1%). In terms of field goal defense (44.5%), three-point defense (33.9%), and three-point shooting (32.9%), they are just sixth.

The total went UNDER in 11 of College of Charleston’s last 14 matches.
The Cougars are 10-0 SU in their previous 10 meetings.
The total went UNDER in 4 of College of Charleston’s last 5 games with Elon.

Elon Phoenix vs #22 Charleston Cougars. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #22 Charleston Cougars. They are aware that they must play better on both sides of the court if they hope to keep winning.

Even if Elon’s squad is extremely terrible and some injured players are returning, a raucous South Carolina crowd won’t care. Elon played hard, which is commendable, but they simply don’t have enough weapons.

The most evenly matched club in the league, Charleston has nine or perhaps ten players deep. They will travel a long way thanks to their size, shooting power, and depth.

The #22 Charleston Cougars will win to a predicted score of 85-63.
