I’m going to try something a little bit different this summer: posting weekly articles that dig a little bit deeper into Providence’s style of play, successes, and shortcomings from the past season. The goal is to post these weekly and share stats that go beyond the box score.
Since the end of the season I have spent weeks compiling advanced statistics from the Ed Cooley era, and look forward to sharing observations throughout the offseason.
Providence concluded its 2019-20 campaign on a six game winning streak in large part to finding its offensive footing (in particular point guard Luwane Pipkins), but the staple of last season’s Friars came on the defensive end.
