PROVIDENCE – After what seems like every game these days, Providence basketball coach Ed Cooley can’t help but praise the versatility in his flexible lineup.
Coaches never know just how recruits or preseason plans are going to pan out but this team versatility comes by design. Entering Saturday’s sold out game against DePaul at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the Friars are rolling at the right time of the season. They’ve won six of their last eight Big East games and at 7-4 are pointed towards what would be a fifth straight NCAA Tournament berth.
If that bid does come to fruition, it will be due to the Friars’ versatility.
