Those hoping for some fire and brimstone from Ed Cooley after his team’s capitulation Wednesday night at Seton Hall were left disappointed.
Providence College’s coach opted to take a wider view. Cooley certainly wasn’t thrilled with the Friars’ 73-57 loss to the Pirates, a game in which his team allowed a 19-0 run in the first half and failed to seriously threaten from there. But that didn’t mean Cooley was ready to publicly air out his players with another critical matchup looming Saturday at Marquette.
“You’ve got to take these games and learn from them,” Cooley said.
