“I’m really glad I chose to play for him and come to Providence. It really has changed my life and my basketball career.”
How Jared Bynum @JBDimes3 has elevated his game, and team, this year.
FOR THREE 🎯
@NoahHorchler1 gives @PCFriarsmbb a much needed 3-pointer to cut their deficit to 3 points with 4 minutes left
The only true objective in any sport is to score more than your opponent. The final score is the only number that ever matters! It separates the winner from the loser. 21-2 and more than ever .. everyday is a great day to be a Friar. #pcbb #cWo #whataseason #Friarfamily
"I couldn't talk to the players a foot in front of me... I thought they inspired us." -- Ed Cooley on the Dunkin Donuts Center crowd.
Providence-DePaul was a fun watch. The Friars are now 21-2 with five Quadrant 1 wins — and 9-0 in games decided by five or fewer points. That perfect record in close games is not “luck" as much as it’s a reflection of Ed Cooley as a coach.
Providence is 9-0 in games decided by five points or less.
Ed Cooley --- as of today --- is the National Coach of the Year.
Villanova visits the Dunkin Donuts Center on Tuesday.
America!

What a night. College basketball is the best. It’s been a joy to partner this season with @VinParise. That game - that atmosphere - that finish … high level hoops. The road to March is on, and it is beautiful.
Ed Cooley on the criticism of Jared Bynum last season, and the guard's emergence this season. Strong in his support:
"He's making a lot of people look dumb. I'm proud of that."
