PROVIDENCE – In just the third Big East game of the season, Luwane Pipkins was a non-factor. This time Steve Wojciechowski couldn’t help but notice a very different Friar point guard.

Pipkins poured in a season-high 24 points, marking a full circle from the night when he managed only one point in a PC overtime win in Milwaukee.

“He was great today,” Wojciechowski said.
