Men's Basketball 3/4/2019 3:49:00 PM

Junior Darrell Brown of the men's basketball team is the Bradley Athlete of the Month, earning the honor after a fan vote for the month of February.

Brown led the Braves to its best February in 22 years as Bradley's six Valley wins during the month are its most since the 1996-97 campaign. Overall, Brown averaged 17.4 points during the eight February contests, shooting 44.8 percent from the field and a blistering 53.5 percent from 3-point range (23-of-43).

The junior became the first Brave in five seasons to register three-straight 20-point games when he did so from Feb. 6 to Feb. 13. He scored a February-best 29 points in the team's first road win at Northern Iowa in 11 years and was named the league's Player of the Week after following up with a 26-point performance against Indiana State.

Brown leads the Braves with 15.0 points and 3.0 assists per game during the 2018-19 season. He is also shooting 46.2 percent from 3-point range – the second-best total in school history.

Brown earned the Bradley Athlete of the Month accolades after a fan vote on the school's twitter account. He collected 41 percent of the vote to beat out Michael Ward of the men's track team (34 percent), Chelsea Brackmann of women's basketball (21 percent) and Bozana Lojpur of the tennis team (4 percent).
