We would have had another 3-5 losses in nov-jan without him no doubt.

SG has been our weakness since rautins left outside a good year by dion. That is 4 out 5 years where we haven't had a SG as our leader. Cooney has caught the tail end of these 5 years, which makes it tougher.

Cooney has also been forced to be a top three scorer on the team the last 2 years. As a freshmen he wasn't ready to score sadly. Thats a tough position to be in especially for a spot up shooter.

Hes also played next to 2 freshmen pg's the last two years. Where as someone like Triche had a sensational sophmore in mcw and a jr/senior scoop at point. Yet Triche never got half the bashing that Cooney has, and Triche had just as many things that had to go right for him to score.

Cooney has became a better shooter off the dribble this year no doubt from 3 point land as well He is getting better every year. The guy works his @ss off, its not his fault hes at a school like syracuse where you have to have a athletic advantage to score lots of the time, in a league where defenders are draped all over you. Heck the coaches recruited him, knowing that could be the case.

When gbinije Joseph, and/or  roberson,cmac,malachia,Dajuan step up making cooney a 4th 5th option some sets next year are we still going to bash?
