Brown is on team for second year in a rowÂ
- ST LOUIS– Averaging 25.5 points per game in the University of Evansville men’s basketball team’s two games at Arch Madness, senior Jaylon Brown earned a spot on the All-Tournament Team.
Joining Brown on the team were Landry Shamet (WSU), Conner Frankamp (WSU), Paris Lee (ILS) and Alize Johnson (MSU). Frankamp was named the Most Outstanding Player.
Brown started the tournament with 27 points in an 83-72 win over Indiana State. He also grabbed eight rebounds and hit three triples in 39 minutes of work. He was 9-of-19 from the field and added six free throws.
In a matchup against #1 seed Illinois State, Brown had another stellar game as the Aces rallied to get within four points of the Redbirds in the final minute. He finished the game with 24 points while hitting all eight free throws and dishing out four assists. He played just under 40 minutes.
He finished up his senior season leading the MVC in scoring (20.9 points per game) and minutes (36.8 minutes per game). Brown finished up the season scoring 20 or more points in the final six contests while scoring double figures in all but one game in the 2016-17 season.
The honor for Brown marks the second year in a row that he earned a spot on the All-Tournament Team. D.J. Balentine was also honored twice, in both 2014 and 2016. Prior to 2014, the only UE player to be named to the squad in the school’s tenure in the MVC was Marcus Wilson in 1999.
