Brown Inks National Letter of Intent with Cowboy Basketball

“Anthony is somebody that we felt like we really needed,” said OSU head coach Sean Sutton. “You look at the makeup of our team next year and we are going to have young post players. We felt like we needed somebody that not only was a talented player, but somebody that would provide some experience.”
A 6-foot-8, 235 pound forward, Brown played in 30 games last season for the Vikings. He was named to the All-Region II first team after averaging 21.4 points per game which ranked 12th nationally in the junior-college ranks.
“Anthony has got a lot of ability,” Sutton said. “He's athletic and strong, physical with a Big 12 body. He's an excellent scorer. That was something that was really appealing to us. Not only is he an experienced, strong, physical player, but he's also a guy that can score points on the block.”
Brown connected on 56.1 percent of his shots from the floor last season, including 17-of-39 (43.6 percent) from beyond the three-point arc. He also shot 73.2 percent from the charity stripe. He also averaged 7.6 rebounds per contests.
Brown's best game last season came against Arkansas-Fort Smith on Feb. 5, when he scored 35 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out four assists.
Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., Brown chose the Cowboys over scholarship offers from Kansas State and Nevada.
