The BIG EAST suspended Providence College guard Duncan Powell for three games (two more than the automatic one-game penalty) for fighting during the Feb. 14 game against St. John’s. Powell was ejected on a flagrant 2 foul, and video review determined additional fighting actions. He will miss the Feb. 21 game at DePaul, the Feb. 24 home game vs. Xavier, and the Feb. 28 game at Creighton.

Ed Cooley's Departure from Providence Leaves Fans Stung.

Ed Cooley's decision to leave Providence College men's basketball program for Georgetown has upset fans in Rhode Island, as he is the latest talented individual to leave the state. While former governor Gina Raimondo and police chief Hugh Clements moved on to bigger and better things, Cooley's move to Georgetown, a team that has struggled in recent years, is seen as a wrestling heel move.
