Rock's Brown earns All-America honor

SRU senior forward Maron Brown was named Monday as an honorable mention All-America performer by the Division II Bulletin

Maron Brown
BEAVERTON, Ore. – Slippery Rock University senior forward Maron Brown added another impressive award to his collection Monday when he was named as an honorable mention All-America performer by the Division II Bulletin.

The honor comes on the heels of Brown earning second-team All-Atlantic Region honors from the National Association of Basketball Coaches and Daktronics (sports information directors) and being named for the second consecutive season as a first-team All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division performer.

A native of Salisbury, Md., and graduate of Wicomico High School and Cecil (Md.) College, Brown was the leading scorer (17.7 points per game) and rebounder (10.2 per game) on a Rock team that claimed PSAC runner-up honors for the first time since 2000 and earned a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time since 1991.

The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Brown ranked second in the PSAC in rebounding and fifth in scoring and was the No. 10 D-II rebounder in the nation.

Brown finished his three-year Rock career with 1.312 points and 862 rebounds. Those marks rank seventh and third, respectively, on SRU's all-time lists.

Brown recorded a school-record 19 "double-doubles" last winter and was the only player in the 16-team PSAC to average more than 15 points and 10 rebounds per game.

He scored 13 or more points in 25 games this season and topped the 20-point mark 11 times. He also recorded two games over 30 points, including a 32-point, 11-rebound effort against Cheyney in the PSAC semifinals.

Brown led all players in scoring at the PSAC Final Four this year, totaling 57 points and shooting 69.2 percent from the field in two games.

Brown, who helped lead SRU to two PSAC semifinal appearances in the last three seasons, was the first Rock men's basketball student-athlete to earn an All-America honor since Denell Stephens garnered honorable mention honors in 2008-10.

One of seven seniors on the 2010-11 Rock roster, Brown was an integral part of SRU winning a total of 57 games the last three seasons, over four times as many triumphs as in the three seasons prior to Kevin Reynolds being named as the Green and White's head coach in 2008.
