Message: [QUOTE="CuseFaninVT, post: 1287570, member: 2002"] Thank God someone else saw those same defensive lapses. Our guards are pretty good at stealing passes, but all three are absolutely terrible at identifying shooters and contesting open 3-pointers. Cooney included. Cooney pissed me off last night when (right before the media timeout at the under 4 - I think - in the first half) he was more concerned about the potential pick to his left that he let the guard dribble right down the middle of the lane and score an easy floater over Rak. And I'm sure Kaleb was blamed for that one in the ensuing timeout despite the fact that he was actually in the proper spot covering another shooter up top. But they all suck at really closing out and contesting 3s. [/QUOTE]
