PROVIDENCE – After losing at home to Seton Hall to drop to 3-2 in the Big East last month, Providence Friar coach Ed Cooley made a switch in his starting lineup to combat alarmingly slow starts.
The speedy Kyron Cartwright was inserted in place of Jalen Lindsey and, perhaps coincidently, the Friars responded and beat Butler and Villanova in their next two games.
But now the slow-starting Friars have returned with a vengeance.
