Interesting thought. I decided to look up what I consider "big" games and look at the box score. The box score doesn't tell the full story, but it does paint an image. Please don't yell at me about sample size. Clutch moments don't have large samples.

Big games from last season: Temple (because if we win, we play a bigger game), @VCU (biggest rival), La Tech in CUSAT, WKU in CUSAT

Temple: 40 min, 1-8 FG, 0-5 3pt. 4 points, 6 assists, 1 steal. ODU lost 65-76
@VCU: 40 min, 6-10 FG, 2-2 3pt. 14 points, 7 assists, 3 steals. ODU lost 75-82
La Tech: 40 min, 2-11 FG, 2-8 3pt. 10 points, 8 assists, 3 steals. ODU won 62-58
WKU: 39 min, 4-10 FG, 0-3 3pt. 10 points, 3 assists, 3 steals. ODU lost 49-57

In 2016-17 season, from the lone CUSAT game against Marshall:

Marshall: 35 min, 3-13 FG, 2-5 3pt. 8 points, 6 assists, 2 steals. ODU lost 63-64

My conclusion, I don't think it's really fair to say he doesn't show up for big games. The only one out of the 5 I referenced in which he disappeared he still got 6 assists and a steal. Sample size too small.
