Tyler Nickel's Hot Hand Boosts Vanderbilt's NCAA Hopes

0:00On March 17th, Vanderbilt-Gar Tyler Nichol broke out of a shooting slump in the SEC Championship game against Arkansas on Sunday. He drained four three-pointers, including one that put the comedors of 49-47 midway through the second half. That clutch shot from the wing had fans buzzing that their star shooter was back in form. Nichol had struggled lately, not hitting four more threes in a game since the February 14th win over Texas A&M. Even when he made three-pointers, his percentages were below his usual mark. Still, he kept firing away with full confidence from his coaches and teammates. Commodore fans lit up after that familiar pump fake and swish, a signature move they had missed for weeks. For a pure shooter like Nichol, the mental grind of a cold streak is tough, but he stayed positive, trusting the work he put in during practice. Despite Vanderbilt falling to Arkansas, 86-75 in the title game, Nichol's hot hand signals a big boost. His rhythm returned just in time, easing doubts about the team's top weapon.
