The Irish got into the lane on their next possession, but Sam Sherry forced a bad shot and the Phoenix grabbed the rebound.

TK Simpkins found brother TJ Simpkins under the basket for an 80-75 lead and the Phoenix made four free throws to seal it.

TJ Simpkins scored 16 points off the bench and Sherry had 13 points and seven rebounds for Elon (3-2).
