Key Factors to Consider

- No significant injury updates are currently reported for either team prior to tip-off, suggesting both squads will field near full strength.
- Appalachian State benefits from home crowd advantage at the Holmes Convocation Center, known for strong fan support. Elon may face travel fatigue given back-to-back away games and recent schedule intensity.
