Nicholson Wins A-10 POY

Saint Bonaventure senior forward Andrew Nicholson has been named the Atlantic-10 men's basketball player of the year.

Nicholson led the league in scoring with 17.9 points per game and was second in rebounds per game at 8.3. He has scored 25 points in four of his past five games and has eclipsed 30 points, four times this season.

Nicholson started off his career at Bonaventure making the all-freshman team. He followed that up the next year being named to the A-10 second team. The past two seasons, Nicholson has been selected to the all conference first team and this year, he can add player of the year to his accomplishments.

The Bonnies sit in fourth place in the A-10 heading into the conference tournament with an overall record of 17-11 and 10-6 in conference. They will receive an automatic bye into the second round. They will face the winner of Saint Joesph's and Charlotte.

Nicholson has been regarded as professional prospect for some years now and ESPN currently has Nicholson as a late first round pick in June's draft.
