Cooke is 3rd on the team in assists despite missing 3 games.
Last night, he did try to go one one into the teeth of the defense too much. Pollard tried to do the same thing at the beginning of the
Rhode Island game. Pollard took threes in each of the last two games early in the shot clock. So did Scoochie
The seniors were trying to jump start the team last night and even on Friday.
To me, it is an issue of trying to do too much instead of selfish. All three have a bit guilty at times. Last night was Cooke at his worst. Every player has a night where they try to do too much.
Cooke and Pollard are both slashers on offense. The other players don't create offense at times. That creates an imbalance and defenses look for it. If you notice, the offense struggles the most when bigs clog the middle. Not a coincidence.
