I remember losing my mind when they called Cooney out of bounds, convinced that they didn’t want us to advance and were going to screw us. Marquette/Ohio State tourney losses still had me jumpy.
He took a lot of heat here and some of it rightfully so, but I've watched the UVA game in full and highlights of the other games and he was great in that tournament. He took it to the basket more than he did the rest of his career. Not sure what changed between the end of the season and then, but someone clearly got in his head.
Agreed! I remember he played very solid that Tourney. He really seemed locked in on both ends.
If I recall, Roberson was really solid in all those wins too.
Roberson was awesome in the UVA game. I remember thinking he could parlay that tournament into a great SR year, but it didn't work out that way.
As did we all.
His senior year dropoff was basically unprecedented, for a returning starter. Shocking.

They stop the clock to replay every small issue now.Also, because he was so CLEARLY IN BOUNDS.
But the basketball gods corrected it, after the bad call.
And the missed the shot against Pitt in DC something clicked those last 5 games.He took a lot of heat here and some of it rightfully so, but I've watched the UVA game in full and highlights of the other games and he was great in that tournament.

Frank made some big plays too.
Yeah Gonzaga game he made his second three of the year!I thought against Gonzaga he was excellent. He wasn't quite as noticeable against UVA. Pretty crazy until that spurt with under 10 minutes against UVA Mali was awful in some of those games.
The Gonzaga game was one of the most exciting SU tourney games of all-time, but because of the drama of the UVA game it gets kind of lost in our memory.
Seemed like 100I honestly forgot we were down 9 with like 6 mins to go in the Gonzaga game
