Have to go with Elon here. In that first game, they didn't shoot particularly well and still won by nine. Sheffield exploded for 31 points and they out-rebounded the Dukes by five. This is a team that just is starting to gell at the right time and they are playing with much more confidence. JMU makes just 32% of their three-point shots and 65.1% of their free throws. In today's game, you are not going to win with those type of numbers.

Elon was 5-16 but have gone 5-2 down the stretch as the line-up has consisted of 4 underclassmen that have gelled. James Madison started the season 8-6 but they've gone 1-10 with the win at home against the worst team in the CAA (NC Wilmington). I'm backing ELON here on Thursday night as the hotter team.
