Sophomores Shine at Mal Brown
In three of Ed Cooley’s six seasons at Providence, one of his players has been named the Big East’s Most Improved Player.So, it shouldn’t have been much of a surprise when a trio of sophomores looked very comfortable in the return of the Mal Brown Scrimmage on Saturday afternoon.
Rodney Bullock and Jalen Lindsey did not suit up for this one, as the Friars were split into two teams: Kyron Cartwright, Drew Edwards, Alpha Diallo, Kalif Young, and Dajour Dickens versus Maliek White, Makai Ashton-Langford, Isaiah Jackson, Nate Watson, Tom Planek, and Andrew Fonts.
The Cartwright-led team came away with a 59-51 victory, as the senior point guard stepped on the gas when the game called for it.
