UNDER-THE-RADAR LOVE

This week’s player who needs more attention is Ohio guard D.J. Cooper (37), who has been part of a couple memorable NCAA tournament runs the past two years and is now finishing an accomplished career. According to Ohio media relations, Cooper is on pace to become the only player in Division I history to accumulate 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 900 assists and 300 steals. He already ranks among the all-time Division I top 20 in assists and is a dozen steals away from cracking the top 25 in that category. This year, Cooper is shooting the highest percentages of his career from the floor.
