MIAA Media Relations

Nicholson was key in a pair of MIAA wins on the road for FHSU this past week. He averaged 23.0 points, 8.0 assists, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals per game, while shooting 50 percent from the field and 92.3 percent from the free-throw line. Nicholson buried a 3-point field goal to tie the game in regulation at Central Oklahoma and force overtime as the Tigers never led in the second half erasing an 11-point halftime deficit. It was the first tie or lead for FHSU in the game since the 8:34 mark of the first half. He went on to go 4-of-4 at the free-throw line in overtime and finish with 19 points and 9 assists in the comeback win. Five of his nine assists were to Dwayne Brunson, who had a team-high 31 points in the game.

Against Northeastern State, Nicholson scored 18 of his team-high 27 points in the second half, including a perfect 12-of-12 effort at the free-throw line after the half. He added seven assists against the RiverHawks. Nicholson missed just one free-throw in each contest. He went 24-of-26 at the line for the week (9-of-10 at UCO and 15-of-16 at NSU).
