ELON, N.C. – The Elon University men's basketball team travels to Boston for its second straight road game on Saturday, Jan. 31, when the Phoenix takes on CAA preseason favorite Northeastern. Tip time is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Matthews Arena.
 
ELON VS. NORTHEASTERN: Elon and NU have never met on the hardwood prior to Saturday's meeting in Boston. The two schools did not have a common non-conference opponent this season.
 
ELON IN MASSACHUSETTS: Elon's last game in the state of Massachusetts was on Dec. 15, 2012, in Springfield, Mass, against UMass. The Phoenix dropped a 78-73 overtime decision to the Minutemen in the Holiday Hall of Fame Showcase.
 
LOOKING BACK: A big first half by UNCW coupled with costly turnovers was too much for Elon to overcome in an 82-65 setback on Wednesday, Jan. 28, in Wilmington. Playing behind a raucous crowd after unveiling a new logo hours before tip, the Seahawks came out of the gates firing, shooting a blistering 62 percent in the first 20 minutes. Elon outscored UNCW in the second half, 42-35, but a 24-point halftime deficit was too large to overcome.
 
FREEBIES: Elon's 25 made free throws against Delaware on Jan. 24 are the most in a game since the Phoenix knocked down 27 against Western Carolina on Feb. 16, 2013.
 
GETTING DEFENSIVE: Elon held Towson to a 9.1 percent clip (1-of-11) from three on Jan. 22, marking the lowest three-point percentage by an opponent since Marist went 0-for-14 from three against the Phoenix last season on Nov. 10, 2013. It ties the lowest percentage Elon has ever held a league foe to at the Division I level since the Phoenix held College of Charleston to a 9.1 percent mark (2-of-22 from three) on Feb. 5, 2009, in Charleston, S.C.
 
40-PERCENT MARK: Elon has an 11-2 record this season when it shoots 40+ percent from the floor. The Phoenix is 0-9 when it shoots below 40 percent.
 
CAREER DAY FOR HAMILTON: Austin Hamilton scored a career-high 31 points vs. Delaware on Jan. 24, draining six threes in the win. Hamilton joins Elijah Bryant as the only other Phoenix player to score 30+ in a game this season. Hamilton is the first Elon player to score 30+ points in Alumni Gym since Jack Isenbarger scored 34 on Feb. 4, 2012, vs. The Citadel.
 
READY FOR LIFTOFF: When it's all said and done, the Phoenix will have traveled a total of 17,415 miles on the road this season via flight and bus. Elon's longest trip was a 5,764-mile round-trip to Cancun, Mexico. The team's shortest trip was a 44-mile round-trip to the Greensboro Coliseum.
 
FROM DEEP: Tanner Samson sits at 208 threes in his career entering Saturday's game, good for fourth in school history. The Littleton, Colo., native is entering rarified air, as he trails only Jack Isenbarger (264), Chris Kiger (259) and Sebastian Koch (242) in career threes.
 
283 AND COUNTING: The Elon men's basketball program has made at least one three-point field goal in 283 consecutive games. The last time Elon did not make a three in a game was Jan. 30, 2006, at Georgia Southern when the team went 0-of-14 from deep.
 
FIRST-YEAR SUCCESS: Rookie guard Elijah Bryant is leading all CAA freshmen in scoring at 13.9 points per game. Bryant has been tabbed CAA Rookie of the Week four times this season and garnered player of the week honors once.
 
HEAD COACH MATT MATHENY: The 2014-15 season marks the sixth year at Elon for head coach Matt Matheny. Matheny enters Saturday's game with a career record of 88-93. Matheny was voted by the Southern Conference media as the Coach of the Year in 2012-13 and was a finalist for CollegeInsider.com's Hugh Durham award, which honors the nation's top mid-major coach.
 
ROAD TO BALTIMORE: The 2015 CAA Men's Basketball Championship is scheduled for March 6-9 in Baltimore, Md., at Royal Farms Arena. Last year, Delaware topped William & Mary, 75-74, in the championship game to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
