It was huge, but it helped that Duke's other guard (Dawkins) is a terrible defender. Guy can frickin shoot, but his pressure on Trevor was really light.Trevor handling the ball handling duties when Duke denied Ennis the ball. Subtle positive, but hugely effective.
In the bonus, he has to be aggressively going to the rim. Can't remember his last missed ft.Trevor handling the ball handling duties when Duke denied Ennis the ball. Subtle positive, but hugely effective.

Thank God Duke didn't have a big at the foul line who could turn and make a play.

^Yup! The guy at the FT line never even looked at the basket. I also recall only one time that they took the shot. When we realized this and stopped collapsing on that guy, it changed the gameWe pretty much ignored them when their bigs got the ball around the FT line - none of them wanted to take that shot.
As far as I can recall, they only took that shot once during the whole game.
Cooney played about as smart a game offensively as I think you can ever hope for from a shooting guard. Forced nothing. Converted when opportunities were there.
Would love to see him keep that rolling against Notre Dame.

That said, I felt more comfortable with Trevor dribbling than I normally do with Silent G.
