1. Nolan Hickman has quickly become a fan favorite with his cool and confident play. There have even been some calling for him to take minutes if not start for Andrew Nembhard. One stat I haven’t seen mentioned, but troubles me, is Hickman has only four assists in the last six games in 119 minutes played. He had four assists against Alcorn State and three Bellarmine so he’s a capable passer. With Nembhard struggling, having a second point guard taking some of the distribution duties is a huge positive.
2. Speaking of assists, how about Anton Watson tonight.
