Men's Basketball 3/23/2020 9:05:00 AM

Senior guard Darrell Brown of the Bradley men's basketball team was honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Monday, earning selection to the NABC All-District 16 First Team.

Brown, who was named to the second team in each of the last two seasons, is the first Brave to collect first-team honors since Walt Lemon, Jr. in 2012-13. He is also just the fourth BU student-athlete to receive the honor on three occasions, joining Bradley greats Chet Walker (1960-62), Mitchell Anderson (1980-82) and Hersey Hawkins (1986-88).

The senior finished his career in the Bradley Red & White on top, leading the Braves to their second-straight Missouri Valley Conference Tournament crown. A second-time all-conference honoree, Brown was named Arch Madness Most Outstanding Player after averaging 21.7 points and 7.0 assists en route to the title. Overall, Brown finished the season ranked fourth in the Valley with 15.5 points per game, while placing second with 4.7 assists per contest.

One of the best to play at Bradley, Brown is one of just three players to lead the team in scoring in all four seasons on campus – joining Paul Unruh '50 and Mitchell Anderson '82. The point guard also finished his career ranked fifth in program history with 1,860 points and fifth with 491 assists.

The NABC All-District Teams are selected by member coaches of the NABC.

Brown and the Braves won back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference titles for the first time in school history, while qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1954 and 1955. Overall, Bradley finished with a 23-11 record – its most wins since the 1993-94 campaign.
