MONROE, La. – Following a 75-63 setback at Boston University Saturday, the Nicholls State University men's basketball team is searching for its second road win of the season Tuesday when it faces ULM at Fant-Ewing Coliseum. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Colonels (5-5) were outscored by 24 in the paint in the 12-point loss to the Terriers, snapping a three-game winning streak. Graduate transfer Jeremiah Jefferson fronted the squad offensively with a game-high 21 points.
