A battle to get back to his for- mer self and to return as an inte- gral part of the Western Kentucky basketball team.

Everybody’s getting me open looks, and I have confidence to knock down shots.

He’s champing at the bit to be a key contributor this season. “We’re experienced, so we’ve been there, done that,” he said. “We know what it takes to get back to where we were last year, and we’re going to take each game one by one and take it as an opportunity to get better each night out.” Dickerson shot 42 percent from the 3-point line his freshman sea- “His shot looks him a little bit about diving into looks better than I’ve ever seen it. son.
