Georgetown coach Ed Cooley returns to face his former team, Providence, as both struggling Big East teams meet.

Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley, in his third season, returns to face his former team, Providence, in a Big East game. The Hoyas, 9-10 and winless in seven conference games, are coming off a 66-51 loss to Villanova, shooting 34% and outscored 40-28 in the second half. Cooley criticized discipline but stressed resilience. Providence, also 9-10 and 2-6 in the Big East, leads the conference in scoring (89.7 ppg) but ranks last in defense. Key players Jason Edwards and Jaylin Sellers are sidelined with injuries, while Oswin Erhunmwunse leads the Big East in blocked shots. The Friars lost 105-104 to Marquette in overtime. Georgetown’s offense is powered by four double-digit scorers, led by KJ Lewis, who has scored in double figures in 17 of 19 games.
