Colonels wrap up Bahamas tour with 3-0 record – Daily Comet

From staff reports

The Nicholls State University mens basketball team finished its preseason tour of the Bahamas with a perfect record.

Nicholls wrapped up a 3-0 mark Monday night with a 85-76 win over NBBA All Stars in an exhibition game at Sir Kendall Isaacs Gym in Nassau, Bahamas on Monday night. Individual stats from the game were not available.

The Colonels, under second-year coach Richie Riley, led 19-16 at the end of the first quarter and extended their lead to 41-35 at halftime and 65-56 at the end of the third quarter.

In earlier exhibition play in the Nassau, Nicholls posted a 106-103 win over the Bahamas All-Stars on Friday and 94-73 victory over IBA Elite on Sunday.

College basketball teams are allowed preseason international trips once every four years.

Any time you can take a foreign tour it is a huge opportunity for your team, Riley said before the team left Thibodaux. We have a lot of new faces that will be playing together for the first time, so it is certainly a bonus for them to get the chance to compete together. Im proud of the way that our guys have approached the practices leading up to the tour. They have had a business-like approach each day and a commitment to improving.
