Men's Basketball Preview: Nik Popovic, 2.0
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Nik Popovic has always understood what he could do as a basketball player. He arrived at Boston College with a set of particularly successful skills, and he rode it to good performances in his first two years. After averaging six points and four rebounds as a freshman, he continued his progression as a sophomore, upping his totals to nearly 10 points and over boards per game.
But he exited 2017-18 unsatisfied. The Eagles qualified for the NIT and the team celebrated its success. Popovic, though, simply expected more out of himself, something that wound up driving him through an offseason in which he began evolving his play.
