I know a lot of people probably are not watching on FLO, but for those who think The Whiz has improved...go back and watch the first half. The worst ball I’ve seen him play in a Bobcat uniform and that is saying something. He air-balled a lay-up.

Elmore and AJ were brutal. Not sure what is going on there, but we miss Miles when one of them is struggling and both of them are right now.

GW has size and length…I have no idea how we were 5 point favorites. Going to need to knock down 3s in second half to get back in it.

Has OUr radio announcer said any thing about if Ohio plays tomorrow win or lose tonight? Asking for a friend.

I have learned from Russ's replacement that GWU has changed its nickname to Revolutionaries. No idea.

The court is horrendous; so many players are losing their footing on both sides.

AJB/EJ4 - where is the killer instinct and slashing from the Troy game? The offense is stagnant without it. GW hit its 3’s otherwise I don’t think there’s a wide gap between us.

I have never seen so many players slip over the course of the game. The towel crew has been very active so far.

The defensive intensity is doing enough. GW is shooting with so much more confidence. The body language in our shooting is not matching. I've counted at least three jumpers for AJB where he has faded away with no one on him.

Wiz, Jesus, soften your hands. Had enough time to rip the rim down for a dunk, but fumbled the pass and was lucky to convert a contested layup.

Heard that.

I do see the gains from Hadaway since last year.

Hopefully, this second half will deliver a better result…just like football.

It looks like they're still working through who they wanna be on offense - when this board figured it out a week ago.

AJB and Elmore should have the green light. If they went 10-45 combined I'd be like hell yeah man great stuff. They're being aggressive, trying to create shots.

I hate this passive stuff.

AJC is playing like I always dreamed he would though. This is enjoyable.

I don't know what kind of shooter Mitchell will turn out to be with more data but it feels like he is going to let us know one way or another and give the world all the data on that it would want.

A positive... Elmore is missing shots / not confident enough to shoot (when did that happen), but getting rebounds, staying active.

Also... why does Clayton have no points or rebounds this half...?

Elmore misses the game winner. On to OT.

Win or lose this game, we are definitely a more athletic team this year. I’m sure there will be games when we will miss the presence of a big man underneath but we’ve got a bunch of playmakers.

Your lead guard(s) have to make free throws.

Horrendous free throw shooting. It cost us against Cleveland State and once again tonight. It's honestly unacceptable when you consider it's our guards missing the majority of them.

Double OT. Got buried right out of the gate with two quick 3's from GW.

Not sure what is going on with Elmore. But his play hasn’t been there. He got burned for 3 made 3’s over him in the second OT.

AJB disappeared again.

Turning point…up 74-70 with 1:50 left…Hunter misses driving layup to go up six.

Free throws massive problem.

Miles Brown is missed.

Player of the game was AJ Clayton. He was a warrior and played tremendous defense.

And The Whiz should never see another second on the court. Give Hadaway his minutes…I don’t care. The Whiz cost us five possessions alone. I will never, ever understand how The Whiz can’t simply catch the ball. It’s costing us gentlemen. I’d rather play with only 4 guys on the court. Nobody has mastered the travel a foot away from the hoop like The Whiz. He can’t be back next year. I’m sure USC-Aiken has a spot for him.

Exciting game. Clearly, Ohio had its chances, but that #2, Edwards, for GW is the real deal. Not just the late in the shot clock 3…but he made 2 steals under the basket, after it looked like Ohio had secured the rebound that were game-winning plays. Impressive player. Lots of good learning from this one.

No lie.

Good game though. We had our chances. Missed a ton of shots. Missed a cornucopia of free throws.

They should practice nothing but free throws from here on out.

Sucks to see Wiz regress when I thought he turned a corner. More turnovers than rebounds and points is PAIN.

Bobcats look like they can beat anybody in the MAC on a given night ... but not sure about three games in Cleveland unless FT shooting drastically improves. Key to a top 4 finish in the MAC is limit/eliminate losses to the bottom feeders. Doubtful Bobcats are much better than a game above .500 vs. Toledo, Akron, Kent ... but need to be .500 at least.

Either way, team is exciting enough to hold interest all season long.

Who was it on here before the Detroit Mercy game who said he expected AJ Brown and Elmore James to combined for 40-50 pts a night?

Since then? A combined 12 pts on 4 of 19 shooting in win v. Detroit. Followed by going a combined 6 of 16 against GWU for 17 points in a game with 10 extra minutes of play.

Our guard play has to get better and needs to stop being a 2 guard hero ball between Jaylin and Shareef. In both overtime’s Aj Brown and Elmore James got two shot attempts which shouldn’t happen at all. Seen people saying they are disappearing no they are not getting touches the and path we are taking it’s going to be a really long season. The commentators are saying Jaylin is past first 22 shots is not showing that
