Cooney

He is absolutely playing unselfishnessly for the team. Say what you want about the young man, but no question, he just wants to win and is willing to do whatever (including listening to Coach B) to help the team get to the final four. I feel it. I'm happy for the young man.
 
He had a nice game but he still had three terrible attempts at the rim where he ended up on the ground and MTSU was off on transition. They hit 2 threes and flubbed away another open opportunity. Those hopeless drives are essentially turnovers. Really wish he would stop those.
 
Had a few possessions early where he dribbled too much and took contested shots in the paint, but after that it was really solid...need more of this!
 
Glad for him in this tourney. I do wish he would refrain from "dribble drives" as he has a hard time "scoring the basketball" from there.
 
Props

Last 3 games, 50%, 9-18 from 3.

12, 6, 4 today and the only player without a turnover.

Happy for him.
He quietly had a great game tonight. Even his misses from deep looked like they were going in, too.
 
Rebounding like a full grown man late. Nice to see. Led the team in assists.

Ths team needs three guys to score 12+. I don't care who does it but they have to be smart with their shots if they're playing low possession basketball.
 
Theres no way he deserved to have his last big shot be the one against pit. He absolutely deserves these two wins . Maybe its simply because SU won, and that changes my perspective/perception, but it looks like he tightened up the form on his jumper in that week off...No question he wants to win as bad as anyone...

I don't like calling people out on the board, that's not my style. However, once in a while a post comes about where I feel compelled to do so. Your post, my man, is it. Tell me, please, those THREE terrible attempts that you speak? Did he finish on every drive? Of course not. Who did? He played a very good game and is now playing within his ability, which means not forcing things. This is what informed Orange fans have been asking for the past 2-3 years. Now you pick the time to criticize him?

What the

Give the guy credit finally for doing a DAMN GOOD JOB.
 
Cooney will get dangerously close to GMac territory. I love his effort and he deserves it -- he wants it so bad.
 
He wasn't asked to do too much today, great contributions and kept his teammates in the game. More of the same on Friday please!

Wasn't asked to do much? He took the 2nd most shots, led the team in assists, 3rd in rebounds and played great defense. I'd say he was asked to do a lot.
