Still no word on Elmore James?
Robert Keegan on Twitter: An update from Ohio Athletics on the status of Elmore James:

"Elmore had taken a step away at the moment. He’s an integral part of our program, and we look forward to his return."
Unbelievable! Does this mean that he was smart enough to not want to play against Akron, but he'll be back the next time we play a creampuff?

Pav and Sheldon on bench...we suddenly show a little life.

Do we know how to play anything resembling defense?

My thoughts, Leon. AJB in the first half, shareef in the 2nd. An issue of strength?

Probably more of a “hey, Shereef beat up on Ball State. You’re coming off the bench again.” Which I think Elmore should start but that’s me.

Boals sending a message with Clayton on bench. Time to stop calling AJ a "star." He is a very good player. Elliott looking comfy at least.

We are done this year if Captain Chaos just ripped an ACL.

Elliot looks utterly disinterested in defense.

Clayton isn't good enough to be the #1 on a MAC championship caliber team, I'm afraid. Just not versatile enough on offense and can't create anything off the dribble.

Here comes the injury we were dreading and Evans will now be forced to play the big mins he hasn’t been given.

I like his athleticism and willingness to go to the rim, at least.

He's the only bright spot in this game, IMO. He deserves more court time.

Elliott needs to see 30 minutes based on vs Zips and how non-athletic several of his teamates happen to be. He takes it up to the rim.

It would be nice if he could shoot.

"If you pluck it, can you get a bucket?"
No, as Sheldon gets the steal, but surprisingly misses the 3.

Who would you say is keeping Akron from getting to the rim tonight?

Nice hedge on the screen AJC. Watching him the past few possessions, he acts like he doesn’t care. Get him off the floor.
