Central Connecticut men's basketball freshman Jayden Brown was recognized as the Northeast Conference Men's Basketball Rookie of the Week it was announced by the league on Monday. Brown averaged 10.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in a pair of games for CCSU last week.

In a 1-1 last week he shot .667 from the field and was second on the team in both scoring and rebounding. In his first career start, he helped CCSU win at Maine scoring 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting with four rebounds in 19 minutes. In Sunday's double-overtime setback, he played 27 minutes and scored 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting. His put back at the end of regulation tied the game. He added seven rebounds and a steal.
