BROWN RACING UP THE ALL-TIME SCHOOL CHARTS

It's been a breakout season for super sophomore Dion Brown. Brown, a two-time AE Player of the Week this season, is just nine points shy of Jarius Lyles' sophomore record of 482 set in 2015-2016.
Only seven players in UMBC history have scored 500 points in a season and just three have hit the 600-point mark.
His 189 field goals this season is already a sophomore record.
Brown's 18.9 points per game is currently the tied for the sixth-highest single-season average in Retrievers' history (Jairus Lyles, 23.0).
His 178 rebounds is currently the seventh-most by a sophomore and only four players have gone over 200.
Brown is currently on pace to score over 1,400 career points and grab 500 rebounds. Only three UMBC players (Rick Moreland '83, John Goedeke '79 and Reggie Nance '81) have ever accomplished that feat.

WHO'S HOT

Brown is shooting 54 percent (74-136) over his last eight contests. He's also 15-34 (44 percent) from deep over that time. His 22.7 ppg. in AE games now leads the league and he's 5th in rebounding at 9.3 pg. In addition, he leads the circuit in 3-point field goal percentage (.438). His 66 offensive rebounds is also an overall league-high this season.
Banks Jr. ranks 2nd in the AE with 2.5 3-pt field goals per game and is 5th in 3-pt accuracy (34.8). He's averaging 18.1 ppg. in conference contests, which ranks 7th in the league. He's also averaging a league-best 3.0 treys per game in AE contests.
Lorca-Lloyd is second in the league with 2.0 blocks per game and is 15th in rebounding (5.6 pg.). He's averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in AE play.
FR guard Franck Emmou has shot the ball extremely well in his first season in Baltimore. Emmou, who recently scored a career-high 24 points at UAlbany, is 26-for-49 (.531) from 3-point territory and 36-for-41 (.878) from the foul line this season. He's 54-for-108(.50 percent) from the field overall.
