Popoola also was one of the best three-point shooters in the area. He shot 45.7 percent from three. That was the best in the conference and also top amongst the honorees by the USBWA. He placed in the top ten in program history with 53 made threes and his shooting percentage was fifth-best in a season in program history.
Popoola’s selection continued a run for the Wolves with a First Team selection in each of the last four seasons.
