Colonels continue three-game home stretch vs. Campbellsville-Harrodsburg

THIBODAUX, La. -- The Nicholls State University men's basketball program (4-4, 0-0 Southland) aims to build on the team's current two-game win streak in Monday evening's non-conference battle versus Campbellsville-Harrodsburg (3-3, 0-1 USCAA), squaring off against the Tigers at 7 p.m. in the second contest of a three-match home stand.

In the Colonels' previous outing prior to Thanksgiving break, the squad managed to orchestrate a lethal offensive performance behind a 102-56 victory over Blue Mountain College, resetting second-year head coach Austin Claunch's single-game scoring high along the way. Individually, redshirt junior Andre Jones -- an Arkansas-Little Rock transfer -- composed his best showing donning the Red & Gray, dropping a game-high 20 points as six separate players worked their way into double-digits.
