Brown Could be Instrumental in Tars Tournament Run

Myk Brown has had some ups and downs in his Rollins College career. The 6 foot 4 Junior from Gainesville,Florida by way of VCU was the most outstanding player in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament as the Tars took the title a year ago. Tars fans are hoping for a repeat performance starting on Wednesday when the Tars open the 2011 Conference Tournament at home vs Barry. Barry is the team that the Tars defeated for the tournament title a season ago. The Tars were the regular season champs with a record of 22-6 overall and 13-3 in the SSC.
  Brown had a game a season ago in the first meeting with Florida Southern last January where he exploded for 18 points in just 5 minutes. If this game proved anything it is that when he is hot Brown can be as good as anyone on offense. This season Brown is the third leading scorers for the 18th ranked Tars. He comes into the tournament averaging 13.1 points a game although he did miss a couple games with the lingering effects from a concussion. Brown is the second leading foul shooter in the SSC shooting at a 82 percent clip. Not bad for a guy who started playing organized basketball when he was in the seventh grade.
  Brown went on to PK Yonge High School in Gainesville. Brown gives a lot of the credit to the coaching staff for his success.
"They put in a lot of time to help me improve my game and get to the next level" Brown said.
  As for his role on the team at Rollins this is what he had to say.
"My role in the offense is to score and get other people involved. The Princeton offense (that the Tars run) involves everyone on the team. Everybody has to be on the same page" Brown added.
  As for his role in the Tars zone defense this is what Brown had to add.
" In the zone defense I have to give all my energy and really try to pressure the ball and make the offense feel uncomfortable in order to be successful". "Brown said".
  On a team that has a very solid crop of Seniors (Matt Robertson, Nick Wolf, Nikola Baran and Alex Castillo), it could be the two Juniors (Myk Brown and Ian Scott) who determine how far this team will ultimately go. It all starts Wednesday night at Warden Arena.
