Brown's stepfather, Saint Joseph's associate head coach Justin Scott, was reported a week earlier to be joining coach Porter Moser's staff as an assistant coach.
Brown scored in double figures in every game he played and his 32 games in double-figure scoring led the A-10. The Philadelphia native scored a season-high 27 points at Fordham on March 1.

Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is back on a basketball court
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is back on a basketball court for the first time (that we know of, anyway) since getting knee surgery this offseason. And by most accounts, the Georgia native has been looking much more like his former, springy, athletic self while he has been putting in the work ahead of the NBA's 2025-26 regular season. Brown, looking like he is most of the way back from his recent meniscus repair, wowed fans on the court at a recent charity game in China. Does this tell us something about how he will look on the court next season for the Celtics? Or is this far too small of a sample size and level of competition for his appearance to tell us much of anything? The hosts of the CLNS Media "First to the Floor" podcast, Jake Issenberg, Ben Vallis, and Wayne Spooney, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Where do the Oklahoma Sooners land in ESPN's preseason power rankings?
The Oklahoma Sooners kick off their 2025 season in less than two weeks. OU will host the Illinois State Redbirds at 5:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, August 30th. The Sooners were unranked in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll, but they did slot in at 18th in the preseason Associated Press Poll. With the 2025 season beginning this weekend, ESPN released its preseason power rankings ahead of the new year. ESPN ranked the Sooners 23rd overall and ninth out of 10 total SEC teams in their top 25. OU was ranked ahead of Tennessee (24th), but behind Texas (1st), Georgia (4th), Alabama (7th), LSU (8th), South Carolina (12th), Texas A&M (15th), Florida (16th) and Ole Miss (20th). The Sooners' Week 2 opponent, Michigan, came it at 13th in the rankings. Oklahoma will face seven teams inside ESPN's top 25, with six of those games being conference bouts. Of those seven total games, OU is the lower-ranked team in six of them. The only Power Four teams the Sooners will face that aren't in the rankings are Auburn and Missouri. Oklahoma's Week 1 game against Illinois State will serve as a nice tune-up ahead of an absolutely massive tilt against the Wolverines in Week 2. That game is one of the season's biggest matchups, and could go a long way towards deciding what both of those iconic programs look like this year.
