Brown turned in a 20 point and 16 rebounds effort against A&M-C and 17 points and 11 boards versus SWOSU on her way to averaging 18.5 ppg and 13.5 rpg for the week. She posted double-doubles in both contests, bringing her season total to 11, which is tied for the most in the conference. She also dished out 2.0 assists per contest and shot 51.7 percent from the field.

Freshman guard came off the bench to scored 18 points while adding five assists and two steals in a 90-75 win over Cameron. Driver had scored just 15 total points in six previous games after being pulled out of redshirt status on Jan. 8, but he hit 6-of-9 shots and 4-of-6 3-pointers against the Aggies. He had 17 points and all five assists in the second half as UCO won its eighth straight game.

LSC South Men's
Lionel Brown, Angelo State University, Sr., Guard, Ardmore, Okla./Ardmore
Brown led the Rams in scoring in both of ASU's contests last week as they remained tied for the top spot in the LSC South Division. The 5-10 senior poured in a career-high 35 points at West Texas A&M and followed that up with a 20-point performance at Eastern New Mexico. In the game at WT, Brown was 10-of-15 from the field, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, and 12-of-15 from the free-throw line. Against ENMU, he never made a two-point shot, going 5-of-17 from the field, connecting on 5-of-10 shots from three-point land and 5-of-5 attempts from the charity stripe. For the week, Brown averaged 27.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, four assists and shot 46.9 percent from the field, 53.3 percent from beyond the arc, and 85 percent from the free-throw line.
