How Trevor Cooney is helping Syracuse score, without scoring himself

Before the season, Trevor Cooney was confident that a roster full of shooters would give him more opportunities to score.

“I definitely think I, personally, can only benefit from us having more shooters this year,” Cooney said at Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Media Day on Oct. 28. “The shots I am going to take are going to be better and the whole floor will be opened up for everybody to make more things happen. I think it will allow me to score more honestly.”

But through Syracuse’s first three games, teams have stayed glued to Cooney on the perimeter despite the Orange’s other threats.
