Getting to the free-throw line is a major part of graduate forward Chandler Cuthrell’s game. He has attempted the 10th most free throws per game of any player in Division I men’s basketball this season, per ESPN. He was shooting 69% from the free-throw line through his first 27 games. In his final four appearances, he only missed two. As Cuthrell sank 11 of his 12 free throws at the Schar Center on March 2, he ended his only regular season with Elon men’s basketball on an emphatic, somber note.
Elon University junior Jackson Weber was wrestling with a friend when he tore his ACL in Nov. 2023, an injury that completely changed what he thought his college career would be like. When Weber entered Elon University, students could find him on the football field and basketball courts stunting for the Elon cheerleading team. The first time he tore his ACL in his sophomore year, he had decided to just take Winter Term off. Going into Spring Term, he expected to make a full recovery.
