guy can't do anything offensively and gets blown by on defense... can't believe this guy starts for a top D1 basketball program. What is JB thinking.

Seriously though, I don't understand why this kid continues to get the bulk of criticism on this board. In my opinion he is an above average defender in the zone compared to some of the guys who have played up top. He gives 100% on defense every trip down the court, has good positional awareness, fights for loose balls and rebounds, and does not get blown by as often as some think. Offensively, he does need to be more consistent as everyone knows, but you could say that about a lot of guys on this team. People want to criticize Cooney all time, but at least he has shown ability to have great games ( Cornell, Villanova, ND). Thats more great games than the whole rest of this roster combined.  I guess we have two years more of this love/hate relationship with Cooney, well unless he quits to become an intramural all star.
