I don't get all the emphasis on Trevors three point shooting he still shot 30%
We played 31 games last year.
Trevor shot 71 for 230 last year from three for 30%
Had he made 86 of those 230 he would have shot 37% much more respectable right???
So lets give him that and average it out that is 1.5 ppg for 31 games.

Do we really think that Trevor Cooneys shooting at 30% instead of 37% and the extra 1.5 ppg cost us 8 losses? Really???
We had one game within a two point loss or overtime last year. One, at Nova in overtime.

And we had one game where we lost by 2-3 (mich), the rest were four or more. So even if you give him one extra three every other game instead for 37%, thats still only 1 other game it could of possibly won. There is also a chance he hit it the game before or after instead.

Sure lets blame one of the top three scorers on the team instead of not having a forth guy who was ready to create his own shot or knock down a open jumper, or the 12 turnovers per game. Cooney was also 4th in turnvoers on the team and first in minutes. He was also first in free throw percentage taking the 3rd most. He was also second in steals 3rd in assists, and still second in points. I know we would not have preferred Ron Patterson and BJ Johnson kaleb joseph and tyler roberson taking another combined 6-7 jumpers instead.

All that adds up to what JB said Cooney shot alot of tough shots last year because he had to.
