Message: [QUOTE="rrlbees, post: 1190967, member: 96"] I don't know how they will defend him this year, a lot depends on the other players too, not just Cooney. I do know how ACC teams defended him last, as described by others here. And they were able to keep doing that because teams had little fear that others who were left unguarded outside would hit anything and our offense generally was subpar. If others this year can hit a jumper or penetrate and finish or kick, maybe how they defense Cooney will change. He can help himself and the team too by going to the basket more. You may have also noticed last year that when we played teams who would play both zone and m2m, they would mostly play m2m when Cooney was in and zone when he came out. Why? As a team we were better vs m2m. [/QUOTE]
