Brown has dazzled fans in the Patriot League for three seasons. A point guard with a flair for the offensive, he averaged 15.9 points per game as a junior last winter while setting a pair of school records. Brown has an affinity for the 3-point shot and drained a record nine of them in a Dec. 21, 2007 game against Mount St. Mary's. He then tied the feat Jan. 30, 2008 against Army -- a night where he put up a career-best 34 points.
His 99 3-point shots last season set a single-season record for Lafayette, and he needed only 53 more entering his final year to break the career record of 271 held by Tyson Whitfield.
"It's not something I think about much. I just try to go out and play and not think about all that stuff," Brown said. "I have goals for myself, but with all the hours I work on my game, I'm confident I can go out and play and play well."
He will have to, especially considering the youth movement at Lafayette this season. The Leopards graduated three starters and five total seniors from last year's team that finished 15-15 overall. For 2008-09, Lafayette will feature seven freshmen and four sophomores. As the team's lone senior and preseason All-Patriot League selection, Brown must continue to deliver if the Leopards are going to take the leap.
