1. Ed Cooley did a great job this week getting his teams prepared for the opponent as well as managing the game and the lack of depth. Slowing the pace against Creighton and Xavier certainly helped the Friar depth issue but also disrupted two pretty explosive offenses. 2. I think the early start caught Chris Mack napping. I am suprised he didn't use full court pressure till late in the 2nd half especially since his best player was not contributing early on. Then when Cotton started taking over in the 2nd half, he continued to play Davis against him and only switched to Christon in the last couple of minutes. 3. This week Cotton went up against the #1, #3 and #4 scorers in the Big East and outscored each one. Granted it was on his home court, but he is also playing PG. 4. CD gave them good minutes. He had 6 (probably 5) blocks and 7 rebounds in 22 minutes. His 5th block on Christon which the Friars rebounded pretty much clinched the win. 5 Now how many hollered on Fortune's left handed scoop shot No No No No YES

good thing this one didn't get to OT as the Friars were in serious foul trouble losing Henton with about 4 mins. to go I think and Dreosiears/Harris with 4 on them.
Really thought Henton established position on that foul with Christon driving on him.
