The 1.91m guard went 0–8 from the field (0–4 from three) but added two assists, one rebound and played turnover-light basketball across 19 minutes. Despite not scoring, Elliott maintained composure, organised the offence and helped steady NKU’s backcourt in a game where defensive pressure and ball security mattered.
