That's question permeating through the minds of many around the Northwestern basketball program — on a team that falls victim to scoring droughts and stagnant offensive stretches, why is Brown, a diminutive spark plug with a knack for scoring and creating baskets, on the bench?
According to Chris Collins, Brown's lack of minutes is due to the ascension of other players, notably junior Jordan Ash and freshman Anthony Gaines.
Gaines and Brown aren't really comparable players, so Gaines's uptick in minutes, some of which are likely at Brown's expense, isn't all that surprising.
