Im at the game and came here for Intel on Elmore. I do not see him on the bench. No mention on the TV or radio broadcasts?
Nope.

How many UA pts is JP responsible for? Due to turnovers, getting beat off the dribble or getting beat by the back door?

This is a cheap take. Every player on OUr roster sucks tonight. Not a single guy giving the effort of the last few weeks. We look like the Cavs at OKC. I will not freak out at this but effort is poor all the way around.

Glad I skipped the trip. Akron is shooting well and it’s hard to shoot much worse than Ohio but the problems go far deeper than that. Awful D. No adjustment on offense. Sloppy with the ball. Shitshow.

Our offense has some very ugly stretches. Feels like we should have a few more sets to create looks for Clayton when we're struggling to get good looks like this.

We're looking a bit frustrated, a bit defeated. Gotta regroup in the locker room and get those shoulders back up.

Any good scouting report includes taking JP off the dribble. It was noticeable as early as our losses at JMU and Ill. St. I would say a strong take.

No flow to tonight’s offense. Idk why this team turns into a deer in headlights for these bigger games.

I've been saying this for 3 years, pointing out AJC's inconsistincies. Games of 31 and 27 sandwiched between 6 and 7. Followed by 1 first-half pt tonight.

Imagine if this team could hit shots. Other important stats are pretty close.

Groce held a mini-conference with a couple players right there on the court at the buzzer. Interesting.

We look scared and timid. Clayton is such an enigma. And Sheldon can’t hit anything from 3 this season. Losing tonight wasn’t going to be end of the world, but unless we show some tenacity in the second half, we will have more questions than answers about this team.

Thank God, I don’t have CBS Sports! Starting to look like Solich football. Good but not very good or great.

One of these teams seems well coached and disciplined.

I’m trying not to get too worked up by this game. The 2021 team was pretty spotty in big games too. I believe we had better players at that time though.

Who would've thought our foul shooting would be what's keeping us sort of in this?
