Cooper played with little emotion to match the crowds emotion. They missed 15 FT's. Missed several layups and wide open 3's. McNeil in a little slump, as all players will go through. After a rough, physical game at Boone last night, the Jag's just looked flat for the most part.

 

Newport played hard and hit several 3's.

 

The officials did a nice job in this game, IMO.

Did AJ Collins play?

Did AJ Collins play?

 

Yes, no issues with the ankle.

Surprised by this. I know they play the games for a reason, but Cooper had been playing pretty well as of late. Also, Newport had a couple stinkers there against Boone and St. Henry.

 

Good for the Wildcats and Coach Snapp. He had his boys ready to play.

Wow. 45 points vs Newport?

I was told 2-19 from 3 point line and 13-27 from FT line.

Not good. Off night for the CoopSquad.

Congrats to Newport and Coach Snapp.

 

Anything can happen.

Congrats to the Wildcats

Wildcats lose to the Cru by 22 and then beat Top 5 team Cooper by 3. Wow

2/9 BBK: Newport edges out Cooper

Just when I thought the Jags were a major player in the 9th.

 

Just goes to show that the games aren't played on paper.

Just one of those games. They are still a major player in the 9th. They just had a setback to where they played to the level of their competition as they did earlier in the year. When the chips are down, they will be fine.

Still a player in the 9th but Newport is no slouch. You just never know what you are going to get with them. They could knock off someone in the Regional tournament.

Congrats to Newport. Came in and took game. Cooper poor effort from free throw stripe really hurt. But they also didn't show enough energy on the defensive end giving up too many layups.
