Weekend Roundup
- Updated: February 18, 2019
A roundup of the weekend that was in Providence and the Big East…
The Friars had maybe their worst effort of the season in a 75-61 loss to Xavier. They were outscored by 20 points in the second half.
Ian Steele provided a glimpse of Ed Cooley’s press conference. The coach said he was “stunned.”
Ed Cooley said this was one of the worst games he’s coached in. Called his team lifeless. But ends statement looking forward to brighter days. @ABC6 #pcbb #gofriars pic.twitter.com/kYXhklDqcE

Xavier’s Tyrique Jones was a force in Saturday’s win. He is a Connecticut native who played prep ball at Vermont Academy. Jones teamed with Bruce Brown to win the NEPSAC AA title, defeating a Cushing Academy group that featured Friar point guard Makai Ashton-Langford.
FoxSports produced a powerful segment on Jones and how he rebounded from losing his father at age four.
