KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Georgia Southern guard Tookie Brown has been named first-team All-District for the fourth consecutive season, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced today.

Brown was named Sun Belt Player of the Year and first-team all-conference and is the first player in league history to earn first-team all-conference accolades all four years. He is the first Eagle to be named conference Player of the Year since Elton Nesbitt in 2006 (Southern), and it is the sixth time an Eagle has been named conference Player of the Year. Brown was named Sun Belt Player of the Week twice and earned MVP honors at the Islands of the Bahamas Showcase. He averaged 17.3 points, 4.7 assists and 4.2 rebounds and shot 49.6 percent from the field.

The only player in Sun Belt history with over 2,000 points and 500 assists, Brown ranks fourth on the Sun Belt career scoring list, ninth in assists and 19th in steals. He finishes his career at Georgia Southern as the all-time leader in Division I scoring (2,290 points), games played (129), games started (125) and free throws (608).

With a 21-12 record, Georgia Southern reached 20 wins for the second consecutive season and the third time in the last five campaigns. GS, Louisiana and UTA are the only three Sun Belt schools to reach double-digit conference wins in each of the last five seasons as the Eagles went 12-6 and tied for second place.
