First time I have ever been happy to be able to watch someone play on MASN (thankfully FP Santangelo doesnt call basketball games). I guess I will get to see Mac play quite a bit on TV and didnt realize it until last night. Dang it... I wanted to watch MM play and didn't realize the Hoyas were on MASN. I like F.P. (and the Nats), but I can see why a lot of people are not fond of him. And, I agree, Santangelo and basketball would be a bad combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Had to upgrade to the Sports Package just to see the game last night. Hopefully alot of their games will be on FSN. It's worth the extra $15 a month im paying now if I get to see Mac on TV once a week. EHC87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CariGrant Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hello all you far lefts, still violating the freedom to speak because your always wrong? You ego polishers still saying Mac is a 3 star guard? You guys would not know basketball if it reached up bit you in the ear. I'm banning this place again and it's been a year since I've been here and I'm already sick of it. When Mac carry's GT in to the NCAA tourney I may come back and see if you old geezers are still violating the First Amendment, not because someone is wrong but just because you don't know or like the truth. This place is a democratic MOB. #MAGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are all hoping he helps take them back to being a power...so not sure what the world you're talking about....Also, you haven't been here a year. You signed up for the board an hour ago as of this post. Account Deleted, CariGrant and Deleted Account 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverRat24 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hes playing well in transition tonight but hes struggling from behind the arc and has been since the 1st game. Needs to get his deep ball rolling.....once he does defenders will have to respect his shot and he will get plenty of opportunities to attack the rim off the dribble. Other than the typical freshman mistakes.....they are playing well for Georgetown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherhead Larry Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Mac looked pretty good tonight. Once he finds his shot he will be just fine. This Freshman class could be special for G’Town. Hopefully Mac finds his shot soon. Luckily, he can drive the hole and still get double digits. Took G’town a couple of minutes to weather the storm by Illinois but they settled down. Mac was just Mac again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Lots of freshman talent on the floor for both teams last night. I'm wondering if added weight room time has gotten ahead of Macs shot for a little bit, but I think he will find it again. I know he worked out hard at home and at GC but Im sure there are some differences in what they are asking him to do. No one expects him to shoot 40% outside but he needs to be able to get it north of 30%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose111874 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 He'll get his shots dropping soon, most are hitting front of rim so he may be a little tired but he'll get it back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverRat24 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I agree that his defense has been rough. Hes been burned bad several times on backdoor cuts and hasn't been sharp ..but to be honest for Akinjo to be touted for his defensive skills hes looked as lost as anyone on D. I expected more from him on that end of the court. The whole team is lacking...but I think they will tighten up. I wouldn't know first hand but i would assume adjusting to the college level of play is quite the task especially when you wasnt asked to play top notch D in high school. I think his deep ball will start to fall once he makes a few and gets back his confidence. Once he starts hitting his mid range jumper the rest will follow suit.

Account Deleted Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Playing defense in major college basketball is almost always the last thing a freshman grasps. It's hard to comprehend the level of energy needed to be a solid defender at that level. I don't question whether he can become a solid defender. I question whether he wants to become a solid defender. For that, we will just have to wait and see. He was always going to score the basketball. His jumpshot will improve as he gets used to playing against max-effort defenders. He is rushing his jumpshots a bit as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah his defense did look bad versus illinois, I seen him get burnt on a couple back doors but I think he just needs time to get caught up to the speed of D1 ball.

I’m hopeful that it’s just a matter of acclimating to major D1 hoops. He’s got all the physical talent needed to succeed there should he apply himself to defense. mv91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mv91 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I am looking forward to following him to see how he progresses throughout the year and beyond. Lots of potential and Bomani Jones on ESPN sure likes him lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be fine, reminds me a little of Grayson Allen from Duke it took him a little while his freshman year and then it just clicked (minus the tripping incidents). mv91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
