Jordan Brown Named SBC Men's Basketball Player of the Week

NEW ORLEANS – After leading his team to a pair of victories, Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns junior forward Jordan Brown earned Sun Belt Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors, the league office announced on Tuesday.

During a pair of games last week, the 6-foot-11 Brown averaged 21.5 points per game, 8.5 rebounds per game and 2.5 assists per game in helping Louisiana to a 2-0 record.

Brown, who was selected by the Sun Belt's 14 head coaches as the league's Preseason Player of the Year, directed his team to victories against in-state foe New Orleans and 2022 NAIA National Champion Loyola of New Orleans.

Brown's 21.5 points per game average for the week was the most of any Sun Belt Men's Basketball player. He shot 56.7 percent (17-of-30) from the field, made his only three-point attempt and was 8-for-12 from the free-throw line.

In the win against Loyola, Brown went for a season-high 27 points, going 13-for-20 from the floor. It gave the Ragin' Cajuns six wins in the month of November for the first time in school history.

In the victory against New Orleans, Brown charted his first double-double of the season with 16 points and 13 rebounds.

Louisiana (7-1) will return to action on Saturday (Dec. 3) when it plays host to Samford in a 7 p.m. contest at the Cajundome.
