Wed Feb 19 23:40:00 UTC 2025: **Georgetown Hoyas Face Off Against Former Coach’s Providence Friars in Crucial Big East Matchup**

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A highly anticipated Big East showdown is set for tonight at Capital One Arena as the Georgetown Hoyas (15-10, 6-8) host the Providence Friars (12-14, 6-9). This game holds special significance as it pits Georgetown coach, Ed Cooley, against his former team, Providence, which he built into a power program before taking on the challenge of rebuilding the Hoyas.

The Hoyas, currently 7th in the Big East, will be looking to secure a vital win, relying on the scoring prowess of grad wing Micah Peavy (15.4 ppg, 10th in the league) and sophomore center Thomas Sorber (14.5 ppg, 14th), although Sorber’s participation is uncertain due to a foot injury.

Providence, coached by Kim English, boasts a potent backcourt with Jayden Pierre (13 ppg) and Bensley Joseph (12.6 ppg), both ranking among the Big East’s top 20 scorers. Freshman center Oswin Erhunmwunse leads the Friars on the boards.

The game will be broadcast on FS1, Team 980, and Sirius/XM Internet 385. Post-game coverage will be available. In other Georgetown news, the team’s recruiting efforts continue to garner attention, with updates on prospects Justin Caldwell, Brandon Woodard, Qayden Samuels, and Jordan Smith.
