BOONE, N.C. (AP) -Kellen Brand scored 17 points and Jeremy Clayton had 12 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to help Appalachian State to a 56-52 win over Elon on Monday night.

Brett James had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Ola Atoyebi added 12 points and six rebounds for Elon (7-13, 5-7), which has lost three straight and six of seven.
The Phoenix led by as many as seven in the first half before the Mountaineers took control in the second half, building as much as an eight-point lead with 4:24 left.
James' 3-pointer with 16 seconds left cut Appalachian State's lead to 3, but Booth hit a free throw and Elon's T.J. Douglas missed a 3 with five seconds left.
