Brown has moved into the top-25 in all-time Sun Belt scoring.
NEW ORLEANS – Georgia Southern guard Tookie Brown has been named first-team All-District for the third consecutive season, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced today.
Brown currently ranks third in the Sun Belt in scoring (18.9 ppg), fifth in assists (4.3 apg), second in steals (1.8 spg), second in field goal percentage (.532) and leads the league in free throws attempted (235) and made (177). He is one of only two players listed under 6-feet tall ranked in the top-100 nationally in field goal percentage and also ranks 17th in the NCAA in free throw attempts, 23rd in made free throws and 70th in steals per game.
The junior is the 17th player in the 42-year history of the Sun Belt to earn first-team all-conference accolades in three seasons and becomes the first Eagle to accomplish the feat in Georgia Southern history. No player in Sun Belt history has earned the honor four times.
Brown was named SBC Player of the Week Dec. 12 and March 4, and earned a spot on the Gulf Coast Showcase all-tournament team after leading the Eagles to the championship game. He scored 20-plus points in 16 games this season, led the Eagles in scoring in 21 contests and led the team in assists 24 times. The first Eagle to record 500 or more points in three straight seasons, Brown ranks sixth in the modern era in career scoring at Georgia Southern with 1,718 points and will enter the 2018-19 campaign ranked seventh among the NCAA's active career scoring leaders if all the juniors on the current list return for their senior seasons. He will begin his senior campaign tied for 25th on the Sun Belt all-time scoring list.
Georgia Southern reached 20 wins for the second time in four years and joined Louisiana and UTA as the only three Sun Belt schools to reach double-digit conference wins in each of the last four seasons.
