SPOKANE, Wash. – With just under ten minutes left in the first half against Washington State, guard Ryan Nembhard left the gaqme with three fouls, moving Nolan Hickman to the point guard position for the remainder of the half. Hickman went on to score 19 points and seven rebounds, both of which were season highs.
Hickman also hit five three pointers, another season high, and head coach Mark Few said he put together his best performance of the season.
“I think what he really needed to show was he’s capable of having a 7-8 rebound game like that and kind of expanding that part of his game. And also, just it wasn’t pretty, but just fighting and making plays in there. He blocked a shot or two in there,” Few said…
