PROVIDENCE — In just the third Big East game of the season back on Jan. 7, Luwane Pipkins was a nonfactor against Marquette. This time Golden Eagles coach Steve Wojciechowski couldn’t help but notice a very different Friar point guard.
The graduate transfer guard scored the game’s first seven points, taking the ball hard at Marquette star Markus Howard, and paving the way for an 84-72 PC victory. Pipkins poured in a season-high 24 points, making a 180-degree turn from the night when he managed only one point in a PC overtime win in Milwaukee.
