<h2>
Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens at Elon Phoenix Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens </b>
</p>
<p>
The Blue Hens enter in off a narrow 76-75 win five days ago against the Drexel Dragons. Overall, Delaware has gone 6-2 SU in their previous eight matches. Against the spread, the Fightin’ Blue Hens are currently riding a two-game skid.
</p>
<p>
<b>Elon Phoenix </b>
</p>
<p>
The Phoenix have won two of their last three games, and they have been upset artists in both of these contests as they were priced at a 10.5-point underdog against the William and Mary Colonials when they upset them on the road on January 19th by a score of 79-71. Most recently, the Phoenix tackled a conference "big dog" on its own court when they stunned UNC Wilmington by a score of 89-82 despite closing as a seven-point underdog.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Delaware<br />
</h2>
<p>
According to KenPom, the Fightin’ Blue Hens have been saved by the bell on many occasions as they are ranked 10th in terms of Luck. Very simply, this quotient indicates that all or most of the bounces have gone Delaware’s game in close contests. As a whole, the metric measures deviation in winning percentage between a team’s actual record and their expected record. From what we see here Delaware is due for a few losses and given the market’s assessment this scenario sets up to be one of those spots.
</p>
<h2>
Reasons To Back Elon<br />
</h2>
<p>
Thanks to Delaware's recent win streak in this series and their ability to show a profit while doing so, the Phoenix are in a position here to take back an inflated number. Given the fact the market is reluctant to give this team anything more than a bucket, the Phoenix would perhaps be favored under differing circumstances had they notched a win in any one of these recent meetings with Delaware. Be that as it may, we get them here at a true value play at an enhanced tag.
