At home against Quinnipiac on Saturday, he tied career-high with 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting (5-of-8 on three-pointers). He added six rebounds, four steals and two assists in 30 minutes. He accounted for 16 points in the first half and started the game by hitting his first three trifectas.
Brown enjoyed a solid week by averaging 14.0 ppg, 9.0 rpg and 2.0 bpg.. He added three assists and a steal, while shooting 11-of-20 (.550) overall and 2-of-4 (.500) from the arc. He had his first double-double with 16 points and a career-high 12 rebounds in CCSU's first win against Fairfield since 1987. He scored 10 points with seven boards in 15 minutes in the second half as CCSU held on for a one-point win. He had 12 points, six rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes against Quinnipiac.
