“It feels good always to be recognized, I’m honored and now we got to continue to focus on the main goal,” Brown said.
Brown who transferred to WSU after playing at Northwestern and Grand Canyon University averaged 18.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists.
“I said from the beginning I took that chance and had faith in Coach Rahe and his staff, and my teammates had faith in me,” Brown said.
Wildcat’s sophomore guard Seikou Sisoho Jawara was named to the All-Conference Second Team.
Sisoho Jawara averaged 12.0 points and led the Wildcats with 3.2 assists per-game in his first season in Ogden.
“They’ve put in the work, and we’ve got a lot of guys that’ve put in the work, but those guys have been diligent ever since they stepped on campus,” Wildcats head coach Randy Rahe said.“Those guys invested into it and bought into it, that’s who they are. From day one they’ve lived in the gym.”
