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, broke Jairus Lyles' sophomore record of 482 set in 2015-2016 and now has 526.
Only seven players have scored 500 points and just three have hit the 600-point mark.
His 210 field goals this season is already a sophomore record and ranks 5th in the NCAA.
Brown's 18.8 points per game is currently the sixth-highest single-season average in history (Jairus Lyles, 23.0).
His 206 rebounds is the third-most by a sophomore. He needs nine more to move into second-place.
Brown is currently on pace to score over 1,400 career points and grab 500 rebounds. Only three players (Rick Moreland '83, John Goedeke '79 and Reggie Nance '81) have ever accomplished that feat.

WHO'S HOT

Brown is shooting 54 percent (95-177) over his last 11 contests. He's also 16-40 (40 percent) from deep over that time. His 21.5 ppg. in AE games now leads the league and he's second in rebounding at 9.6 pg. His 76 offensive rebounds is also an overall league-high this season. Brown has produced 20 or more points in five of his last seven games and is averaging 23.7 ppg. during the span.
Junior guard Marcus Banks Jr. has spashed at least one trey in 15 straight games. He's second in the AE in 3-pt field goals per game (2.6) and is 6th in 3-pt accuracy (35.5). He's averaging 18.3 ppg. in conference contests, which ranks 7th in the league. He's also averaging a league-best 3.1 treys per game in AE contests. Banks is 43rd in the NCAA with 72 treys and needs just three more to move into UMBC's single-season top-10 in the category.
Graduate student forward Max Lorca-Lloyd is tied for tops in the league with 2.3 blocks per game and is 15th in rebounding (5.4 pg.). He's averaged 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.5 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 28-for-55 (.509) from 3-point territory and is 42-for-48 (.875) from the foul line this season. He's 61-for-129 (.472) from the field overall. Emmou is a spectacular 15-for-26 (.577) from deep in conference play and is netting 8.3 ppg.
Regimantas Ciunys has seized on his opportunity over the past five games as he's averaged 11.2 points and 6.2 rebounds in just over 22.4 minutes off the bench. He recorded a career-high 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting against UAlbany on February 17. Ciunys also recorded his first career double-double at Binghamton.
