Ohio's NCAA hopes ended with 65-46 loss to Akron
D.J. Cooper didn't make a single shot. He didn't make any excuses, either.

Cooper was knocked off his game by a...

Cooper Breaks Records, and Bulls’ Hearts Again

When Javon McCrea blocked D.J. Cooper’s layup with 6:42 left in their MAC battle Tuesday night, it felt as if the power had shifted and McCrea was going to snatch the conference player-of-the-year honors away from the senior point guard.

How Athens, Ohio became a basketball town
ATHENS, Ohio Dan Lowe and D.J. Cooper never met. By all indications, they never were in the same place or had reason to believe their paths would cross.

Ohio U goes dancing into the NCAA Tourney
Ohio University guard D.J. Cooper took the ball behind the 3-point line, closely guarded. With the seconds on the shot clock waning down, he drove, stopped, ducked his shoulder underneath Nikola Cvetinovic and threw the ball up, hoping for a foul. Then the ball went in anyway.
