After putting together one of the best performances by a freshman in Bradley men's basketball history, rookie Darrell Brown (Memphis, Tenn.) was honored as Missouri Valley Conference Co-Player and Co-Newcomer of the Week on Monday.
Brown led the Braves with 20.0 points per game at the 2016 Gulf Coast Showcase in Estero, Florida, last week, connecting on 56.8 percent of his shots with a 53.3 percent mark beyond the 3-point line. Highlighting his standout week, Brown poured in a BU freshman record with 34 points against Hofstra on Monday. He made 13-of-18 shots and 5-of-7 3-point attempts to top the school's previous freshman standard of 31, set by Deon Jackson in 1993, and to become the first Valley rookie with 30 points in a game since Doug McDermott during the 2010-11 campaign.
