Ed Cooley has faced UConn four times as head coach at Providence — once during his first season at PC, a pair of overtime games the following season, and an exhibition game in 2017. Here’s a look back at each of them.
February 28, 2012: Providence Wins, 72-70
Cooley’s Friars were in full rebuild mode during his first season in 2011-12. Connecticut was facing problems of its own at the time, as head coach Jim Calhoun was not on the sideline due to a spinal condition. The Huskies were 3-4 in the seven games Calhoun had missed heading into this contest at the Dunk.
