A lot of comments/complaints about what JB is doing not having BT in at the end.  I would also much rather have BT and Dion in at the end but my guess is that JB is playing for March right now.   Yes, JB wants to win now but he knows he needs Scoop for March.   If Scoop continues to play poorly and JB sits him for extended mins, Scoop might regress more so than he has.  As it is, he's a 5th year Senior making Frosh mistakes, momentum killers, four point swing plays.  Who of us didn't say, after seeing scoop pull up and start to shoot the 1 and 4 jumper, "he's getting pulled".
 
If Scoop didn't play the mins he did at the end against both Prov and Marq, the distribution of mins would have been about 64 for BT/Dion, 16 for Scoop.   For one game, not a huge deal.  However, if it continued, I think JB fears that going forward, bad Scoop being more the norm than good. That said, as we get to the March, make no mistake, BT and Dion will be closing games.
 
This trip to Philly is coming at the right time as Scoop needs the boost.   Last year, he played real well back in Philly.  Hopefully we see the same.

I would love to see the Philly crowd turn out like they did last year, or two year's ago...almost felt like a home game.
