@PCBobDriscoll @KevinMcNamara33 @BWMcGair03 this PC team was 6-6 on 12/19 after losing to Florida 81-52 as low as they could get but have battled back through adversity. Have to be proud of these guys doing it in the number 1 ranked conference in the USA

Post-game wrap, with video, is up. Friar fans happy to hear Pipkins say “I’m just trying to have the confidence to know I’m still who I am and who I came here to be.” https://t.co/sCLkQFvWTh

Ed Cooley: “We’re not a pretty team. I don’t coach pretty teams, that’s not our style. We’re gritty, we’re nasty, we’re ugly. We’re not trying to go to the prom and become prom kings. We want to be the ugliest but we want to be the most successful.” https://t.co/GrvK98hL7F

Luwane Pipkins played well (27 pts). So too did Maliek White (15 pts). The genesis behind a move that was suggested by the latter and how it continues to pay off #pcbb #friars #bigeasthoops https://t.co/6K0Xq3Rtn9

How do you erase early season losses to Penn, Long Beach State, and Charleston?

Sweep Marquette, beat Creighton and Seton Hall at home and also win at Villanova and Butler.

Providence is trending up. https://t.co/zEcrE5oKPq

— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) February 29, 2020

Pipkins leads the way past No. 12 Villanova, 58-54.

With the win, the Friars have clinched a first round bye in the BIG EAST Tournament for the sixth time in seven years.https://t.co/0QD0CugEsX

I never give up on Ed Cooley’s Friars because they always come on in late February and early March. Great win vs a great coach (Jay Wright) and an excellent Nova team today! It must be March! Here come the Friars! https://t.co/XmWJ1SkVoz

Ed Cooley is such an incredible (yet still underrated) asset for the @BIGEAST. The man is simply an outstanding basketball coach. Dots the resume with another big (to no one’s surprise) win. This time @ ‘Nova.

— Brandon Tierney (@BrandonTierney) February 29, 2020

Ed Cooley told me on Jan. 10 that he gave his Providence team too much leeway early in the season, and was gonna be tougher on his players.

Since: Friars have beaten Butler and Villanova on the road; Creighton, Seton Hall, and Marquette at home.

   Oh, No. Not the dreaded 8-9 game. Need to win our last to and do some damage in the BE Tourney to move up to a 7 seed at least!
