He will play tomorrow, IMHO. No inside info, just Mac’s fire. I am a big fan, but SH or DePaul might be a good time for Mac to do the sixth man thing. Completely agree, whenever he comes back, he is better suited coming off the bench. Blair has earned the starting spot at shooting guard. Mac would be a great spark off the bench for 12-15 minutes per game, but is simply too inefficient to be out there for starter caliber minutes. lol

Account created yesterday. Multiple posts knocking Mac. Sounds about right. Not knocking him. He has value as someone who can score in quick bunches off the bench. However we need the efficiency and superior all around play that Blair provides in the starting lineup.

McClung is never coming off the bench... But would be nice to see Matt, Blair, Q, Moseley and allen on the court together..
OBvi when Matt is 100%

Welcome to Denny’s buddy. Hey laugh if you want but the results tonight speak for themselves. Yes they lost, but they looked much better than the first time against Seton Hall. If Mac played 30 plus minutes and started this game they likely lose by 20 or more. On the other hand, if he gave us 10-15 minutes off the bench to give Blair, Allen and Mosely each a few extra minutes of rest so they are fresh for the last 5 minutes, we probably win this game. We were in it because of ball movement and defense. We lost because of fatigue down the stretch.

I agree we look much better when the ball is moving. But had we had Mac - I think more of those shots would be going to Mac, Blair, Mosley. Not Allen, picket, Blair Mosley. I think (hope) results in better percentage

You need the guy who can take 15-20 shots who's not afraid to shoot it when open and who's not afraid to take that big shot. You can't have everyone wanting to move the ball to the next guy, it just won't work.

On the other hand, if he gave us 10-15 minutes off the bench to give Blair, Allen and Mosely each a few extra minutes of rest so they are fresh for the last 5 minutes, we probably win this game. We were in it because of ball movement and defense. We lost because of fatigue down the stretch. The Hoyas lost because they started slow (nobody could create a shot... Mac can) and because of poor outside shooting. Mac couldn't help in either of those areas? Mac's aggressiveness and fearlessness in going straight at someone like Gill, creating better looks for Mosely, Allen and Blair couldn't help? Mac's fearlessness in taking the shot that was needed rather than having a TO/long delayed possession happen couldn't help? You don't think Mac could've gotten a bucket to shrink the Seton Hall lead off of the 4/5/7 tat it was the entire second half and gotten momentum to push this team towards victory? Mac's aggressiveness does more than what the stats say. Blair is the exact same way for this team. You need both being aggressive, you could get an SMU repeat. The defensive scheme has been better. Aside from a few plays where Powell was left open, the defense was better. I don't think it's as simple as Mac didn't play so defense=good, it's more on the scheme. Ewing tried new things and wasn't so set on one specific way. Even just changing things up throws the other team off of their rhythm. Also, a one game sample size is completely foolish to use. Your argument is flawed in so many ways that it feels like a waste of time considering you won't acknowledge the ways he helps this team tremendously. In the six game win streak Mac stepped it up and played aggressive, just what this team needed. He also hit his shots in those games. Players have off nights. No mac in those games and the Hoyas take 2-3 of those games. No Mac and this season is already over. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

Clearly an anti-Mac agenda. May be a poster now using multiple handles to spew hate. The root of the hate is unhealthy. 👎🏻

Damn, now I feel bad for starting this thread:I was merely suggesting that when Mac does come back from the foot, Pat could use him in a sixth man role until the foot is 100%. Also,reward Juggy. Then this guy appears and suggests Mac should be playing only 12-15 minutes total. I don’t think so.

I am hoping Mac has watched the last two games and recognizes there is no need for him to be a volume shooter or hunt shots in games. His teammates have more ability than he might have thought prior to sitting out the last two. I also hope Ewing uses a swift hook if Mac starts to make poor decisions. It is not debatable that team has moved the ball better on offense with him out. Mac needs to embrace ball movement and not disrupt it.

I think after he missed the nightmare in providence, it might have made him feel a need to hunt his shots more when he came back from the first injury. But agreed, hopefully these last two games were a good way to show that everyone else is capable and a reminder to get back to the ball movement we saw in the second half of non-conference play
