That's some funny crap.

Kid was a beast in the second half! Can't give him enough credit for that! It's a good way for him to go out after a much maligned career at SU.

Yep, he was exhausted and kept plugging. That's who he is.

Very happy foe him!

Someone asked Cooney in the presser if it felt good going out with a strong game. He essentially said it didn't matter to him at all because all he cares about winning. And he meant it. Great kid, outstanding career. He will be missed by anyone who understands basketball.

Respect.

It's going to be weird without him and G on the court next year. Those two guys make it so easy to cheer for Syracuse and they took us on such a glorious ride.
