This Team needs Acox for that extra push.

This Team needs Acox for that extra push. Definitely missed her presence on both ends. But "we above me" and "committing to grit", this team will find a way to succeed.

elon's "post defense" was excellent. not only did harris have trouble scoring, but so did clark. i attribute both harris and clark having difficult games to elon's "post defense".
unlike most of the season, we had trouble making our "entry passes" to the post and even when we did get the ball to the post, elon's "post defense" collapsed on our post players sometimes double teaming and even triple teaming our low post attempts which forced both harris and clark to "miss" shots near the basket that they normally make.
from the outset of this game, it appeared to me that we didn't match elon's intensity. perhaps we were a bit "complacent" coming into this game. it had "trap game" written all over it...

This was a winable game.Once again too many unforced turnovers,particularly traveling and not blocking out on rebounds. These are fixable things. You can't be too critical of a 8 and 2 team. Hope coach will have them ready for the next game.

Well, do we have good 3PT shooters or spot up shooters where the post players can pass it back out to the open player instead of forcing shots like you stated? That could be a possible adjustment.

Big game between Drexel and Stony Brook tomorrow while we need to beat UNCW to keep pace to remain tie at 1st or take a 0.5 game lead in 1st.

I’ve watched all of the women’s conf games multiple times, and the rebounding/turnovers irk me the most. UNCW has a very tall team and I’m worried about them getting a lot of 2nd chance pts. Hopefully the ladies come out intense on the defensive end and not wait until the 4th qtr

Well, elon "said" it's pay back time. I do believe that we beat the sneakers off of them in December. We have had too much success playing what we think (just a guess), are less talented teams. Guess what, these teams are pretty much our equal and some are better than we are at their home place. So that means that the coach, the one that most on this site think that he could actually coach the men's team. He and his staff will have to get their players to understand "on any given night or day" you can be had. That means the staff will have to get them ready to play EVERY GAME and WIN.

Some Black Students had tables of The NAACP ect set up on the concourse. I talked to them. I asked who was coming to speak during BHM, they, the Black Student Union, didn’t have anyone. Also some came and gathered/sat by some of the Aggie Men and enjoyed talking some smack. They were glad to see us. I told them to come west to GHOE ( since you are this close). A couple of young Brothers/Students sat beside me and we vibed.
Idk, it’s something about A&T that garners kindred spirits…

They lost to us by 17pts and then turnaround and beat us by 7pts. That is impressive even if some of problems were self inflicted.
