The Nicholls State University mens basketball team finished its preseason tour of the Bahamas with a perfect record. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
College basketball teams are allowed preseason international trips once every four years. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
