Once again an unsung hero as Isiah Brown, "The Alaska Kid," is the 4th top scorer

As significant as his points to help take the initial lead in the first half were, Isiah Brown's 7 point total in the BTT Quarter Final Game with Maryland placed him as the top scorer after the starting trio of Lindsey, Law and McIntosh. He also had two assists placing him 3rd in assists after McIntosh and Lumpkin. He was also 4th in total rebounds just after Lumpkin, Pardon and Law. Not bad for 14 minutes total playing time to spell the starters.

That comes to 1 point for every two minutes of play, 1 assist for each seven minutes, and 1 defensive rebound for approximately each 5 minutes on the Court.

Have to give credit to Coach Collins for his acumen in rotating between Ash and Brown in alternative BTT games to maximize match-ups and provide fresh legs from the Bench.

OK, BTN did recognize Isiah as the "Motel 6 Sixth Man," but shouldn't he have been at least "Fourth Man?"

Do you think he had a moose at his house when he was a kid?

Do you think he had a moose at his house when he was a kid?

Very likely.

Here is a quote from a news story just before he enrolled at Northwestern. Of note is the title of "one of the first songs he helped create" - "Sensational." Definitely an apt term for what he and his teammates accomplished in their qualifying to take Northwestern to the NCAA Tournament this week.

"Seattle is special to him, but Brown claims Anchorage, Alaska, as home. He was born there and moved with his family to Seattle just before middle school – all for basketball.

He’ll head to Northwestern in Chicago next fall and he said he hopes to etch his name among some of those other Metro League greats and one day make the NBA.
.....
You could say fulfilling that dream would be sensational – just like the title of one of the first songs he helped create.

“We’ve come a long way since ‘Sensational,’” Brown chuckled."

For completeness, here is a screenshot of Isiah's stats from the pre BTT game with Maryland:
