The school added, “His behavior is antithetical to our community values and good sportsmanship. Fitchburg State does not tolerate behavior that violates those standards. The case is being reviewed at the student conduct level for consideration of further sanctions.”

He played 29 minutes and poured in 11 points as Nichols came away with the 84-75 win.
