What to Know

The Incarnate Word Cardinals and the Nicholls State Colonels are set to square off in a Southland matchup at 8:30 p.m. ET Jan. 6 at Leonard E. Merrell Center. The Cardinals should still be feeling good after a victory, while Nicholls State will be looking to regain their footing.

Incarnate Word couldn’t have asked for a better start to 2022 than the 90-45 stomp they dished out against the Dallas Christian Crusaders at home on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Colonels’ 2021 ended with a 104-90 loss against the Purdue Boilermakers last Wednesday. Nicholls State’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of guard Ty Gordon, who shot 9-for-15 from beyond the arc and finished with 29 points and five assists, and center Ryghe Lyons, who had 20 points in addition to seven rebounds and three blocks. Lyons hadn’t helped his team much against the Oregon State Beavers two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
