Changing the Lineup and the Pace vs. Seton Hall
Did Providence find something in the second half of Tuesday’s 72-63 win over Seton Hall?Trailing by three points at halftime, and desperate for a win following an 0-3 start to conference play, Ed Cooley and his staff turned to a three guard lineup out of the locker room with David Duke, Makai-Ashton-Langford, and Maliek White all on the floor together.
The result was increased defensive activity and an offensive pace that Providence has not played at for much of the season.
After PC fell to Creighton in its Big East opener, Cooley noted how the Bluejays drew energy from their offense. Cooley wanted his group to find its energy off of defensive execution.
