COLUMBIA, Mo. — That sure looked like the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year roaming Norm Stewart Court on Wednesday.
Yes, of course, it’s early — in fact, only one game into the SEC season. But Mizzou’s Kobe Brown sure looked resplendent out there. After scoring 31 points in a win against No. 19 Illinois, Brown scored 30 in Wednesday’s 89-75 win against No. 19 Kentucky.
Sure, Tshiebwe is primed to have another Naismith-like season — and he scored 23 with 19 rebounds against Mizzou — but Brown’s stock is soaring as he’s pouring in points against top teams.
