NEW YORK -- Villanova and Providence played a classic Big East tournament championship game Saturday night, but one of the hottest topics postgame was Friars coach Ed Cooley's pants.
During the second half of Villanova's 76-66 overtime victory, Cooley conspicuously had a large white towel draped around his backside.
"When I sat down I felt the great breeze in the crack," Cooley said after the game, laughing. "My pants ripped."
Villanova coach Jay Wright was queried about the towel after the game, as well.
