Providence fans have become very familiar with Luwane Pipkins over the past three seasons. Pipkins is a 5’9 graduate transfer who committed to Providence this spring after spending the previous four years at UMass. Eligible next season, he is expected to bring scoring pop and stability to a backcourt that couldn’t seem to find its footing for much of 2018-19.
Pipkins broke hearts across Friartown last December with a late drive and score to give Massachusetts an improbable win after Providence led by over 20 points earlier in the game.
The year prior, Pipkins scored 30 points in leading UMass to a win over PC in Amherst.
