Rodney Pryor scored 23 points and swingman LJ Peak added points 22 and 8 rebounds to help Georgetown knock off upstart mid-major Elon, 77-74. Those efficient scoring performances were among the few highlights in a win that saw Georgetown looking lost defensively, outworked on the glass, and, for much of the first half, uninspired offensively. With the narrow victory, Georgetown ensured that it will not meet last season's quota of 3 home losses to mid-majors.
Elon is a solid mid-major opponent. The Phoenix move the ball well, can shoot the lights out from 3, and work their buts off on the glass.
