PHILADELPHIA — After weeks of searching for what he calls “an identity,” for his team, Ed Cooley is finally getting some answers.
While the Providence College coach always has his fingers crossed, his team has remained healthy for the last few weeks and responded with a four-game winning streak that’s elevated the Friars into a tie for second place in the Big East.
PC now has a chance at staking a claim to the top of the league when it travels to face No. 1 Villanova on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center. The Friars (14-6, 5-2) will need to pack much more than an identity into their gym bags to take down the Wildcats (18-1, 5-1), but the consistency that any good team needs is surfacing at the right time.
