MBB Minute – Providence Pulls Away from Merrimack for Comfortable Tuesday Win
After a slow start, Providence scored 55 points in the second half of a 93-56 victory against Merrimack in the only BIG EAST action Tuesday night.
?For the most part, the Friars were without stellar senior Alpha Diallo. Slowed by illness, he played only 10 minutes and scored two points. However, six of his teammates reached double figures. Graduate transfer Luwane Pipkins scored 18 points and dished eight assists – both game highs. Guard Maliek White added 15 points. Emmitt Holt, who has returned from a medical redshirt last season, finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
