ELON, N.C. – The Elon University men's basketball team will compete at the second annual Asheville Championship on Nov. 11 and Nov. 13 at the Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, N.C.
 
The Phoenix will be one of four teams competing at the tournament along with East Tennessee State University, Harvard and Louisiana-Lafayette. Elon opens the tournament versus ETSU on Friday, Nov. 11 at 8:30 p.m. and then will play either Harvard or Louisiana-Lafayette in its final game on Sunday, Nov. 13.
 
This year's 2022 Asheville Championship will air on the ESPN family of networks on Friday, Nov. 11 (ESPN+) and Sunday, Nov. 13 (ESPNU).
 
Tickets are expected to go on sale in early September via each school's ticketing department, the venue, and AshevilleChampionship.com.
 
Elon is 1-3 all-time versus ETSU with the last meeting between the two teams coming in 2005. The Phoenix has never faced Harvard or Louisiana-Lafayette on the basketball hardwood.
 
As part of this year's Championship events, Tournament organizer KemperLesnik, in partnership with Buncombe County Schools, Asheville City Schools and Haywood County Schools, have announced the inaugural "Going Pro in Sports" program presented by Champion Credit Union. The initiative is a joint effort between the Asheville Championship and the three local school districts that will help enhance current curriculum, deliver practical training in the sports profession, and open new potential career opportunities for the students of the Asheville community.
 
Elon's full 2022-23 schedule will be released at a later date.
