One emotionally charged, draining overtime game was enough for one week. The odds were stacked against them: Jackson Atoyebi - fouled out Monteil Watson - down with an ankle injury. Steve Harvin - battling a stomach virus. Rasmi Gamble - playing with four fouls. Matt Nowlin - stmggling to find his range. Yet in the face of such adversity, Elon dis played heart, fearlessness, moxie - all the quali ties this Rioenix team needed to complete a guLsy perfonnance. Elon emeiged victorious in three overtimes Saturday night, in a game large on length, but larger on actions. The 112-108 victory against UNC-Greeasboro only determined which team would receive the third seed in the North Division of the Southern Conference toumament The victory served as more of a trampoline than a spring board into the tournament No. 3 seed Elon pulled out a 66-56 victory agaiast The Citadel in the. first round Wednesday from Charleston, S.C. Atoyebi scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Nowlin added 15 points. ‘“‘We’re very pleased to win the game,” said Elon coach Emie Nestor. “It’s our first Southern Conference toumament It’s a good win for us although we didn’t play very well. I have to give The Citadel t'redit We couldn’t get the tempo where we wanted it” The Phoenix will next play No. 2 seed See BASKETBALL p. 28 Prospective fellows to visit campus this v»^eekend; best of the class of 2008 Ashley Feibish Brian Viebranz / Photographer News Editor Fellows Weekend starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday, March 6.
