ABOUT BROWN
- Brown is coming off an impressive win over Penn its last time on the court. The Bears snapped a 21-game losing streak to the Quakers with the victory. Brown overcame a 12-point deficit to beat Penn, the largest deficit overcome this season and the second time Brown has overcome a 10-point deficit (UMass Lowell - 11).
- The Bears played a very clean game against the Quakers, committing just two fouls and not allowing a free throw. It is the first time since at least 2010-11 that Brown has committed just two fouls and did not surrender a free throw.

- Alyssa Moreland scored a career-best 14 points, pulled down eight rebounds and had four blocks, three steals and two assists as the freshman filled up the statsheet against Penn.
