Until Mac gets back to 100%, Blair has to continue to start, IMO. I’m glad someone smarter and with more experience has to make that decision.

The way I see it, it's a nice problem to have.

I also think Ewing can do that without stepping on Mac's ego. It is as simple as saying "were on a roll I know your a team player want to ease you back in you will be a tremendous asset off the bench for a game or 2 etc, etc, etc...

Blair needs to start now mac has been out to long bring him back off the bench and if he doesn’t play well off the bench by time bie east tournament starts then start mac and Blair back off the bench.because the goal is to win I think this team is buying in to the goal of winning main thing. So Blair keeps starting and see how mac does off the bench if he can still score 14-16 points a game that will be good.if he just struggles then after 3-4 games try starting him again.its all about winning and trying to get to ncaas everyone want to do that anyway.go Hoyas.

You basically have 160 minutes between 5 players. That breaks down to 32 minutes per kid. Even if you're going to say it's 4 for 120 minutes that breaks down to 30 minutes per kid. Why do you keep presenting this like it's Mac taking Buggy's minutes when Mac is basically at the average if you split this up evenly? Jagan is at 38, and Allen is at 34 for instance. It's not a Mac vs Blair thing. I also think you're misquoting Pat, or taking his comments out of context. He's been saying this line about Jahvon since the 4 guys transferred out. It's continued in BE play, but I believe he was talking about him complaining about minutes when he was only getting a handful of them, not since that event occurred. Mac and Jahvon are battling for the same minutes. Even you have to admit that. That is not to say that they will equal 40 minutes. There is basically 120 minutes for 4 guys. Allen essentially has no backup so him getting 34+ is a given. My whole point is that Mac has done noting to deserve 12 more minutes per game than Jahvon. If anything they should be switched. Pat made that quote after the St Johns game. Tell me how I am misinterpreting this. Because he’s made that same comment countless times throughout the season starting when those guys first transferred out. Pat says a lot of the same things over and over. They’re not competing for minutes like that. Have you ever seen them on the floor together for extended periods?

I thought Jahvon played another excellent game today. He let the game come to him...forced one or two shots but still managed to shoot 40% from the field, 50% from three, had no fouls, played solid D and only had two turnovers in 40 minutes. I’d take that stat like all day long from our starting 2 guard.
Heard Mac was on crutches earlier in the week....more time and touches for Jahvon.

Thinking Mac has a planter fascitis issue, can take 4 weeks at this level.

At this point I don't think I'm even comfortable with Mac coming off the bench a few minutes per game. Think about it, he's already a major gunner, if he comes off the bench, he'll force things 10 times more, trying to make sure he get's his shots up in limited minutes. I'm more comfortable with Muresan getting whatever few minutes are needed off the bench, he'll play hard and won't shoot unless he's extremely wide open. Mac's selfishness has no place on this team. Anyways, the debate could be moot, I doubt he comes back anytime soon, injury seems worse than they are letting on. Of course with our luck he'll come back just in time for the tournament, right after we finish this big tournament run without him, Ewing will overplay him, and he will shoot us right out of the game in the first round.
The debate needs to be shifted to who should start between Wahab and Yurt, since it seems likely Yurt will be back next game. I'm 100 percent in favor of Wahab, but we all know Ewing will never start him over Yurt, he's just too hard headed. Sucks for the other guys, they're gonna have to fight that much harder to crawl out of the inevitable early hole we'll get in against Providence as Ewing will go right back to the feed Yurt downlow offense to start the game.

Well at least the clown patrol waited a few hours before trying to divert attention to their little agenda.

40/40/40/40 for Blair in the last 4 games. Guess That that’s a Hoya record. In any case, I’d be surprised if Jahvon ever came off the bench again.

Absolutely! Without a question, he should be starting. Now, having said that, it is up to Blair to play with the intensity of a Powell for 40 minutes. What I most like about Powell is that even if the ball is not in his hand, his head is in the game, and he is looking for ways to impact each and every moment. By the way, as that clip just showed, Blair has one of the prettiest step backs in college basketball. That should be his go to, his bread and butter.

This is why I don’t understand why everyone is down or our program the main ingredients will be Blair , Pickett and Wahab they can give you 15-30 points any game ... then you add the grad transfers and the freshman I love our chances to make the dance ...

While I love your enthusiasm, when you start with a team that finished bottom 3 in the conference and lost its top 2 scorers as well as its heart and soul (Jagan), then add only one top 100 recruit, a whole bunch of lower rated freshmen, and 2 serviceable grad transfers, you don't usually get a recipe for a greatly improved result. But maybe they play with a collective chip on their shoulders, fit together perfectly as a unit, and surprise everyone.

How many times has that trio scored 30 in a game?

I respect the optimism, but I really, really don't see it. I'm not going to say you can't have your opinion, but I don't see it. That being said, Blair has earned his starting spot for next season.

Every year is a new year , every team has lost important players but we played the last half of the season without ours so saying we lost our top 2 scorers means nothing to me .... Don’t believe me just watch
