Nicholls St. Shows Off The Upcoming Team During 'Madness At Midnight'
Midnight Madness: Nov. 1, 2007 - Stopher Gym, Thibodeaux, LA


The two sophomore big men out of Australia went to work against each other in tonight's scrimmage.


Junior guard #23 is expected to have a big season offensively for the Colonels this season. Tonight he poured in 16 in Team White's victory.


The freshman from Akron, #14, is expected to play a lot of key minutes off the bench as Nicholls hopes to bounce back from an 8-22 season.


The big man from Houston, Sophomore #44, tallied a double-double of 10 points & 10 rebounds for Team Red.


The big freshman on campus, #1, was easily a crowd favorite as he flushed down multiple dunks to go along with 14 points on the night.


"We're putting in the work. Tonight was just a taste. We're going to put Nicholls on the map this season.." Head coach Julio Abreu-Sosa told The Nicholls Worth after tonight's scrimmage.
