After a slow start to the season, the sophomore had a breakout game for the Terps ahead of Tuesday's matchup with North Carolina.
Mark Turgeon said at the beginning of the season that he'd prefer to play an "inside-out" style of play, and Jared Nickens is one of the players who stands to benefit most from that style.
In Maryland's victory over Cleveland State Saturday, Nickens had a career-high 16 points, partially thanks to four 3-pointers, which matched the most triples he's hit in a game in his career.
Coming into the game, Nickens was only 9 for 25 from three this season, good for 36 percent.
