By Zachary Horner

The Elon University men’s basketball’s loss to Appalachian State University could be symbolized by a number of things that happened Saturday afternoon in Boone. Maybe it was the three Phoenix air-balls in a matter of 30 seconds or so in the first half.

Maybe it was sophomore forward Ryley Beaumont’s brief horse-collar of Mountaineer forward Nathan Healy with less than a minute left while Healy attempted a layup, almost knocking him down.
