Second game in three days. Much better opponent than Friday. Didn't play as well, but pulled away and started playing defense when they needed to in the 2nd half. Offense wasn't great but they did enough.

Not meaning to pile on the kid at all because he does hustle and such, but Cooney needs to play like a 4th year junior offensively every single game. It's great that he hustles on defense and is solid in that regard, but he needs to do what he did at the end of the game where he took the ball to the hole more often, especially if his shot isn't falling like it hasn't been since ND last year. He needs to be a primary scoring option instead of a designated shooter. He is capable.

With so many new players playing a lot more minutes, you need your veterans to step up. Christmas absolutely has through two games. Gbinje looks like he'll be able to do that, too. Cooney is the third guy, and must play at a higher level offensively, especially in the beginning of the year as these new kids (freshmen and sophomores) get acclimated to college basketball.
