They form the ACC’s premier backcourt, yet strikingly few basketball followers are familiar with them or their games.
Statistics confirm the fifth-year seniors are the league’s most productive pair of returning guards, female or male, averaging more points and accounting for a larger proportion of their team’s scoring and 3-pointers than any other perimeter pair in 2017. No returning backcourt tandem outdid them in combined accuracy from the foul line, either. So far Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell have picked up right where they left off last year.
“I love the two of them,” says Nora Lynn Finch, the ACC’s senior associate commissioner for women’s basketball.
