Over three days at the Jack Stephens Center, the UALR Trojans will try to slow down Georgia State's D'Marcus Simonds and Georgia Southern's Tookie Brown.
If things had played out differently two years ago, University of Arkansas-Little Rock Coach Wes Flanigan could have been coaching them both.
Flanigan recruited both Simonds and Brown when he was an assistant at Mississippi State. He obtained pledges from both.
Brown, second in the Sun Belt at 18.1 points per game, signed with the Bulldogs but never made it to campus in Starkville, Miss., after Coach Rick Ray was fired at the end of the 2015 season.
