I caught up with Tookie Brown and Ike Smith, the Sun Belt’s top two scorers and first-team selections, and spoke with them before they headed to New Orleans for the tournament.
How proud are you of the strides that were made as team from last year?
Brown: I think we’re doing a lot better than last year. We have pretty much the same guys, and I think having all the guys come back over the summer and working out was a good thing for us. It’s showed that it paid off during the season.
Smith: We definitely made big strides from last year.
