I can agree that Cole has under performed. Now, he has less than 0 help on that team, but he hasn't played up to the hype. And Cole Anthony, a top five to 10 pick as you said, is not terrible by any means. So that's another just insane thing to say. Also, do you just hate players that score the ball? Do you hate players that create their own shot? That's the only consistent I've noticed in you "assessment" of the game of basketball. Any scorer mentioned is someone you hate. And when someone, like Mac has accomplishments to back up their level of play you shrug them off, for no reason. It's insane. Did you watch the UNC Duke game today? Cole actually played within himself and played very well for the first 38 minutes. Not much forced shots and a much better job of getting his teammates involved. As a result they had a 9 point lead with 2 minutes left. Then Cole inexplicably dribbled down court and forced a terrible jumper with 24 seconds left on the shot clock and no one on his team touching the ball but him. Duke got the rebound, hit a quick three and eventually forced overtime. If Cole makes the smart play there and uses more clock, they don't have enough time to come back and UNC gets the win. But nature took over and he couldn't help himself, had to go one on one hero ball mode for no reason at all given they had a 9 point lead. He did the same thing in OT, played well for the first 3 minutes, then started pressing things during the last 2 and had 2 turnovers and 2 bad shots that resulted in misses. In the end, they of course lost the game. All because someone wanted to be the man at a time when it wasn't even necessary. These are the same stunts Mac pulls. The reason we were able to come back against St Johns and Depaul, despite slow starts and a large deficit is because the guys continued to play together and play good team basketball for the full 40 minutes. Games like that with Mac, as soon as we get in a big hole, he decides it's time for him to go hero ball which only digs the hole deeper. By the time the guys start playing team ball again, it's usually too little too late. Judging by the looks of the other thread, it seems people are coming around to the idea of gluing Mac to the end of the bench where he belongs. I don't think your post did what you hoped it would. It sounded like you said that Cole is a very good player and just needs to mature a bit. That's not surprising considering he's a freshman that has also missed a good amount of his college time. Since you're equating Cole with Mac, do you think the team is better served by allowing Mac, who is very likely a 4 year player, to sit or to speed his maturation through playing? Also, the rotation is so short, the Blair/Mac thing isn't an either/or. The team needs both. Thankfully, Blair has started to play like the guy we were hoping to see his sophomore year. His team certainly needs all that he can give. Same is true for Mac when he comes back. Maybe Jagan can get more than 5 minutes of rest over a few games if they both continue on their current trajectories.

I don't think Ewing would appreciate all the negativity you see in posts attacking specific players. He's trying to put a very understaffed team into a cohesive unit. That's a difficult challenge when you have fans wanting to bury disabled players.

Why do folks here even waste a second of their life responding to hoyasince1983., who repeats the same thing over and over that Mac is not very good.? Nothing you say will change this posters mind, and nothing the poster says is of any value to any of us.

hoyasince83 = hoyainla = relentless Mac bashing. Now on multiple threads. It’s just too much at this point. Note: these are two different posters. Hoyasince83 has been on the board less than one month, hoyainla has been on the board since 2011. Each has a different inbound IP.--AdminHe’s one step ahead of you. 😉

Enough with the Mac bashing. I sure hope the team doesn't read this nonsense. Unreal.

Need to put the wins in perspective, they came against the 9th and 10th place teams in the league. Ball movement and other facets of the game should look better. Teams ranked above us will be less forgiving. That said, our limited roster put up two gritty wins and I’m thrilled.

Copycat Trolls.
Actually not true. While hoyala is not a fan of Mac he posts about other issues, including positive posts when we win. 1983 just plays off of the Mac dislike over and over.

What’s funny is that hoyainla called out another poster the other week for having two accounts and all of a sudden hoyasince83 appears. Coincidence? 🤔 Anyway, I’m done commenting on this.

Maybe Akinjo’s uncle? That dude hates Mac and seems to have a lot of time on his hands.

I personally don't get all the hoyainla bashing. He offers a different perspective from time to time. That's all.

I do find myself laughing sometimes as it feels like he is purposefully antagonizing a population of the board just to get a rise out of them and they continuously fall for the bait. His takes aren't completely terrible but just are not very popular. His position on our coach is the one I disagree with the most but he is an equal opportunity basher. 😁

FWIW, Mac's family was telling people he had a 3 to 4 week injury.
I believe Saturday would be 3 weeks. So hopefully hes getting close.
