PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The first Ed Cooley Radio show of the season will air from 6-7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4 and is sponsored by Inskip's Warwick Auto Mall. NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball Dan Gavitt will join Head Coach Ed Cooley to discuss the upcoming season. Also, Providence College Senior Associate Athletic Director Steve Napolillo will discuss the season ticket policy procedures for 2020-21. The show will air on NewsTalk 99.7 FM and AM 630 WPRO. The show is hosted by the long-time voice of the Friars John Rooke. It can also be streamed online at www.997wpro.com and https://tunein.com/radio/The-Ed-Cooley-Radio-Show-p1159133/.  

Providence was selected to finish third of 11 teams in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches' Poll, which was released on October 28.  The Friars, who return three starters from last season, finished 2019-20 with a 19-12 overall and a team record 12 wins in BIG EAST play. The Friars entered the 2020 BIG EAST Tournament as hot as any team in the country.  The team had won six straight and eight of 10 games to close the regular season with a NET ranking of 37.  The squad finished fourth in league standings and was set to play fifth-seeded Butler on March 12 in the BIG EAST Tournament.  However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the BIG EAST and NCAA Tournaments were cancelled.  The Friars were projected to be a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament. 

The Friars open their 2020-21 season at home on Wednesday, November 25 versus Fairfield in Alumni Hall in Providence, R.I. The tip-off time and television designation will be released in the near future.
