two big men?" Brey said. "With Jack playing against that body, there's a challenge every day in practice. It gives him a big man who sometimes kicks his backside. Gar- rick is hard to defend and can lean on him physically." The idea of putting both on the floor at the same time, whether it's on occasion or for ex- tended periods of time, is exciting for Brey, who has added flexibility with the addition of ath- letic freshman forwards Date Nov. 10 Evansville$ Nov. 12 Monmouth$ Oct. 29 Quincy^ Nov. 2 Opponent Cardinal Stritch^ Cam Biedscheid (6-7, 186) and Zach Auguste (6-10, 230). "I pulled out some tape from my first couple years when we played a lot of three around two with two big guys in there," Brey explained. "I don't know if we want to be three around two, but I like having two big guys in there, and I think our big guys, whoever they are, whether it's Gar- rick, Jack, Tom [Knight], or Zach [Auguste], are good with the ball.

Cooley's all for shar- ing some of the wear and tear that comes with a grinding Big East slate. "Our team is gigan- tic," he said. "I look around, and we could have four people above 6-8 on the court right now. It's a big team. We're going to control the boards. It's going to be a lot easier for me to have more help out there this year." ✦ Jan. 21 Georgetown* Jan. 26 at USF* Jan. 30 Feb. 2 Feb. 4 Feb. 9 Opponent Villanova* at DePaul* at Syracuse* Time (ET)/TV 7:30 p.m./ESPN TBA/BEN Feb. 16 at Providence* Feb. 18 at Pittsburgh* Feb. 24 Cincinnati* Louisville* 6 p.m. or 9 p.m./ESPN 7 p.m./BEN TBA/BEN 7 p.m./ESPN2 2 p.m./ESPN2 7 p.m./ESPN March 2 at Marquette* 2 p.m./ESPN/ESPN2 March 5 St. John's* March 9 at Louisville* March 12-16 Big East Championship! 7 p.m./ESPN 2 p.m./CBS 7 p.m./ESPN2 4 p.m./CBS TBA ^ Exhibition; $ CVC Classic; # CVC Classic championship rounds in Brooklyn, N.Y.
