Please elaborate on why "no free will = nihilism"

Imho those favoring either hard determinism or compatibalism assume that the physical universe is causally closed. As for me I'm not convinced that it is nor am I convinced that the mechanical theories of causation that underlie determinism, the kind that are like billiard balls an watches, survive close scrutiny.
