One of the newer but more intense rivalries in the Big East is renewed tonight in our nation’s capital as the Hoyas of Georgetown (15-10, 6-8) host the Providence Friars (12-14, 6-9).
Former Providence bench boss Ed Cooley will be seeking his first win against his former team following his tumultuous departure two seasons ago. The Friars rallied to knock off the Hoyas in Providence, 78-68, on January 25.
PC is a shell of that team, however, following injuries to key personnel Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Wesley Cardet Jr., and Corey Floyd, Jr. The Hoyas’ injured list may not be as long, but they may well be without standout big man Thomas Sorber. The freshman exploded for 25 points and 15 rebounds in the first meeting of the season between these teams.
The Friars won their last game, 75-62, at home against Villanova this past Saturday. Georgetown lost to Butler, 97-86, later that day.
Georgetown is 3-7 in their last ten games and Providence is 4-6.
