Ed Cooley’s Georgetown squad out to take down his former Providence team

Ed Cooley will be coaching against his former team when Georgetown visits Providence in a Big East tilt Saturday.

Cooley, who is in his third season as Georgetown's head coach, served as Providence's head coach from 2011-23 and went 242-153 with seven NCAA Tournament appearances.

The Hoyas (9-10, 1-7 Big East) are coming off Wednesday's 66-51 loss to Villanova, which stretched the team's losing streak to six games.

Georgetown shot 34% from the field in the loss, and was outscored 40-28 in the second half.
