Cooney's pass makes #1 on SC Top 10

That is all.

I love it. His shooting has been awful recently but he hustles his butt off. He also seems to come up with a great play late in games whether its a rebound, loose ball or hitting free throws though he did miss one tonight.
His most ridiculous shot of the night was a very difficult and highly contested shot while we were desperately trying to milk time off the clock. I was screaming no non no as he took it, then just grinned at my wife when ti went in. To her budding basketball IQ credit , she said "that wasn't a good shot. How did he do that?".

I hate to say it, but the real credit on that play goes to Ennis who foresaw what was going to happen & he cut to the open space before anybody else on the court realized that there was a passing lane to be had.

It was still a great pass by Cooney- both in realizing the situation and getting the ball to Ennis while flat on his back.

I think this is a good place for middle ground. BOTH players made good/excellent plays there.

The funniest thing about that play is the no-call. After the block, Cooney is WWE'd into the ground by a flying arm-bar to the back. Good clean ACC ball.

and having the presence of mind, rush to scramble off the court after the pass so he wouldn't get a 3 second call.

i don't want to hijack the thread but another pass also stands out in my memory. somewhere around the 12:00 mark, trevor tries to toss the ball nonchalantly over to cj standing who's out top. both players then watch as the ball bounces lazily toward the sideline where a terp swoops in and takes it all the way to the hole for a dunk. luckily the ball (or foot) was ruled out of bounds. i myself couldn't tell . but the effort was horrible!

That would have been an over and back call and I cant believe the Maryland player went after it. Just let it go out of bounds. We caught a break there.

I think Cooney may be a better shooter on difficult, contested shots than on wide-open looks. When contested, he just lets his shooting instincts take over and doesn't think about the shot.
