The Hoyas coach, still mourning the loss of his mother, gets a lift from his team with a 21-point rout of the Friars, fueled by Micah Peavy’s career-high 30 points.

It's the first time Cooley has beaten his former team, and it comes as the former Friars coach is grieving the loss of his mother.

Georgetown still leads the overall series 47-38, but Providence has narrowed the gap to single digits for the first time since 1985. The game will be played at the Capital One Arena in Washington on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on FS1, streamed on the Varsity Network and can be heard on WPRO radio (630-AM, 99.7-FM).
