Brown earns Player of the Week after scoring 26 points and a career-high eight assists, while committing no turnovers in MSU's 98-69 victory at UW-Green Bay on Dec. 21. Brown shot 9-of-13 from the field (.692), making a career-best six three-pointers. The Maywood, Ill., native has scored 20 points or more in each of the last three games and currently ranks sixth in the conference with 17.7 points per game.
