I don't think a lot of UDPrider give credit to the defensive effort that WSU put on the Flyers. This was easily one of the top 3 defenses we faced all year - possibly the best. After forcing myself to watch the DVR of the game yesterday, I realized even more than I had realized game day, that Cooke was double teamed and hounded nearly the entire game, almost always the defense collapsed around him as he drove the lane. They scouted him very well. Probably one reason why Scootch was given less attention and able to score more freely - which credit to Scootch, he took advantage. WSU realized UD's offense lives and dies around Cooke and they negated him. Interesting to see if UK thrashes WSU or has an "off" day offensively; we'll know very shortly...
