Pick
I’m sticking with Elon in this one. I don’t normally rush to back Elon, but it’s really hard to feel good about backing Hampton, even with a handful of points in this matchup. The Phoenix are playing really well right now and I think they find a way to get it done in this matchup. Give me Elon laying the points here.
