New-look Providence Friars hoping for bounce back season

PROVIDENCE – The cover of the Providence College basketball media guide paints a story that coach Ed Cooley hopes turns into a best-seller once March rolls around.

The preview book features a picture of five players, all seniors, who’ll go a long way towards determining the success of the Friars. Three of the five played huge minutes for a team that disappointed a year ago as it leaned heavily on freshmen. In a snap, one of the youngest teams in the country is now one of the oldest.

Alpha Diallo, Maliek White and Kalif Young have all played in over 90 games for the Friars in their careers.
