Nichols came out of gates firing on all cylinders in the Terriers’ heart-breaking loss to Seton Hall, 75-71, in overtime on Saturday. The Brooklyn, NY native scored a career-high 25 points while adding 14 rebounds and three steals, with a bulk of those stats coming in the first half. Helping the his hometown team to a 33-25 lead at the break, Nichols knocked down 11 points and had eight caroms, almost achiving his third career double-double in the opening 20. After a Seton Hall run in the second, Nichols shined in overtime, scoring all nine of the Terriers points, including hitting a three-pointer that brought the SFNY within two, at 71-69, with 15 seconds remaining. For the 6-4 forward, it was his second career start in an SFNY uniform.
