Nickel hits 6 3s, scores 24 points to lead Vanderbilt over Seton Hall in Charleston Classic 76-60
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- — Tyler Nickel made six 3-pointers on his way to a career-high tying 24 points and Vanderbilt beat Seton Hall 76-60 Friday in the semifinals of the Charleston Classic.
Vanderbilt (6-0) will play Drake, a 75-63 winner over Florida Atlantic, in Sunday’s championship game. The Pirates (3-3) will play FAU.
Nickel was 8-of-16 shooting, 6 of 13 from the arc, with the Commodores putting up 27 3-point tries, making 10. Devin McGlockton added 13 points and Jason Edwards 10 for Vanderbilt, which shot 52% overall and scored 19 points off 16 turnovers.
Isaiah Coleman was the only Pirate to score in double figures with 20 on 8-of-15 shooting, including four 3s. Chaunce Jenkins, who scored 22 second-half points in Seton Hall's overtime win over VCU on Thursday, had just three points with nine rebounds before fouling out. The Pirates shot only 37%.
Nickel hit a pair of 3-pointers and scored 10 points over the first five minutes of the second half and by midway point of the period Vanderbilt led by 21 following a 9-0 run.
The game was tied midway through the first half when Vanderbilt went on an 11-0 run capped by a 3-pointer from Nickel while Seton Hall was going 1 of 11. Nickel hit four 3-pointers in the first half in scoring 14 points.
Seton Hall got a gift when AJ Hoggard fouled Dylan Addae-Wusu, who was throwing up a three-quarters-court shot at the halftime buzzer. He hit all three free throws to get the Pirates within 38-28.
