PITTSBURGH — It hasn’t really mattered what lineup combinations Quinnipiac has used this season. The Bobcats have done one thing all season: win. That’s why the lack of points by the trio of Matthew Peca, Connor Jones and Kellen Jones earlier in the year wasn’t that much of a concern, although coach Rand Pecknold said … Read more
