Denver coach Bill Tierney says Ethan Walker is “fearless.”
So in overtime of a hard-fought game, with the Big East Tournament No. 1 seed on the line, who else is going to get the ball?
Walker caught a pass behind the net around his ankles, dove up between a pair of Villanova defenders and scored, giving No. 10 Denver a 11-10 win against No. 16 Villanova inside Villanova Stadium and clinching a share of the Big East regular-season crown.
“He’s fearless. There’s not a scared bone in his body. He’s not scared of the situation. He’s not afraid of big guys. He’s not afraid of me,” said Tierney. “He’s the guy you want to come up with it.”
