Big East Tournament Thread

With the caveat that none of us here is in our coach's head, I think he'll expand his rotation as far as the results warrant. Cooley would definitely have liked an 8 man rotation - I think it's the rare program that has the depth to go farther than that ( i.e., 15 + mins per game).

As for laziness, I'm all for it!

As for the minutes the Friars played even that goes back to the three guys they lost, two of which most Friar fans thought would be starters. Considering the Friars, based upon RCSI scores, had inferior quality depth, it makes sense that Cooley would have to rely on so few. My argument though is that he would have loved to have gone with a greater rotation if all his pieces were in place. I'm not so sure III would have though. For an example as I've written before if Whittington had been a fulltime player the last two seasons I don't think Bowen sees the floor. We have seen this season especially that Bowen, if not a star, is a more than capable Big East quality player. And he would have, IMO, remained stuck permanently to the bench if Whitt had been around, only getting Domingo like minutes and appearances.

Cooley had plenty of other guys on his team. 13 to be precise. Yet he only played six because he determined the others couldn't play.
