Elon opened the tournament with a blowout win against Towson before a narrow one-point win against JMU. On Monday, the Phoenix had a huge second half and defeated Hofstra convincingly, 76-58, for its seventh straight win.

Darius Burford had 19 in the win vs. Hofstra, but the Phoenix had five players score at least 10 points.

• Drexel enters the CAA Tournament as the No. 6 seed after finishing the regular season with an overall record of 9-7 with a 4-5 record in conference play.

• Zach Spiker is in the midst of his fifth season as the head coach of the Drexel program after serving as the head coach at Army West Point for seven seasons.
