Ed Croswell crossed the 1,000 point mark in a most fitting manner on Saturday night — by leading Providence with 21 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in an 85-72 victory over Villanova.
Still remember Croswell taking over that Texas Tech game and my friend turning to me and asking who is this guy and what did he do with Ed Croswell? One of the more unexpected player developments of the Cooley era. So much credit to him for how hard he’s worked to get to this level. You said it best: Croswell is a perfect Cooley player. He represents the toughness and culture that’s come to define this program. Great piece and an awesome tribute to the man they call Cheese!
Kevin.. i watched the Creighton game where the sound wasn't on. In the waning moments or regulation, i believe it was Bynum, took a short jumper that i believe hit the rim. There was a scrum and PC came up with the ball. Cooley called timeout (i think) with 16. something on the clock and 7 on the shot clock. Why wasn't the clock re-set? did they rule that the shot did NOT hit the rim? thanks..

croswell should be allowed to play at pc for the rest of his life
Great piece. Happy for this kid.
Thanks Kevin - Everything you write is great, but (like Ed Crosswell) this article was something special.
Wow, thanks so much. I've had so much fun watching him grow these past couple of years. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'd have to go back and look, but I remember being confused watching it live in the arena. I thought they determined the shot didn't catch the rim.
Well played Kid, and the final chapter has yet to be written....
