DENVER – Seattle U's Terrell Brown has been named TicketSmarter Western Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week for Feb. 17 through Feb. 23.
Brown, a junior guard from Seattle, used a pair of big games to lead the Redhawks to a pair of home wins and etch his name in the Redhawks' record books. On Thursday against Grand Canyon, he matched his career-high with 31 points and 10 assists, including his 1,000th career point as a Redhawks, becoming just the fourth player in SU's modern-day DI era to achieve the feat.
