ABOUT THE BEARS
Winners of six consecutive games, Brown is coming off an Aaron Cooley game-winning three at Yale.
Kino Lilly Jr. became a back-to-back First Team All-Ivy selection after leading the Ivy in scoring (18.4 points per game), three-pointers made (84) and minutes played. Nana Owusu-Anane received Second Team All-Ivy honors and enters averaging career highs of 15.0 points and 8.8 rebounds.
ABOUT THE TIGERS
Princeton is the defending Ivy Madness champion. The Tigers advanced to the Sweet 16 last season and enter the weekend riding a nine-game win streak.
The Tigers feature the 2024 Ivy League Player of the Year Caden Pierce and Coach of the Year Mitch Henderson, while Pierce and Xaivian Lee were unanimous First Team selections.
Princeton is receiving votes in the AP Top 25 Poll and USA Today Coaches Poll, and sit at No. 4 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll.
5-1 SINCE THE CHANGE
Mike Martin '04 made a lineup change and it has paid off, as inserting Lyndel Erold and Alexander Lesburt Jr. into the starting five has led to a 5-1 mark. The lone loss was at Princeton, a game Brown led for more than half of regulation. Overall, Brown has featured six different starting lineups.
PASS THE ROCK
The selfless Bears continued to make the extra pass and Brown registered 22 assists in the win over Dartmouth (3/2), including a career-high eight assists for Kino LIlly Jr. and Nana Owusu-Anane. The 22 total assists for Brown are the most since Nov. 9, 2021 (Salve Regina).
LEAGUE LEADERS
The Bears are featured heavily among the team and individual statistical leaders in the Ivy League, highlighted by Kino Lilly Jr. (18.4 points per game and 37.9 minutes along with 84 total three-pointers), Kimo Ferrari (.483 from three-point range), Nana Owusu-Anane's offensive rebounds (3.3) per game pacing the league.
RECORD WATCH
Kimo Ferrari set a program record in Brown's Senior Night win over Dartmouth (March 2), draining 10 three-pointers and finishing with 39 points. The 10 3FG made are the most in a game in program history, and the 39 points tied a Pizzitola Sports Center mark for the Bears – Earl Hunt vs. Harvard (Jan. 15, 2000) and Sean McGonagill vs. Columbia (Feb. 4, 2011). The 10 triples sit tied for the most in NCAA Division I this season and are the second most (tie) in Ivy single game history, behind Maodo Lo's 11 in 2015.
Known mostly for his offense, Kino Lilly Jr. clamped the Dartmouth guards on 3/2, collecting seven steals in the playoff-clinching win. The seven steals are tied for second most in a game by a Brown Bear.
Lilly Jr. continues to climb up the charts and is ranked No. 8 in scoring (1,358). He is currently also No. 3 in three-pointers made with 234. With career marks of 16.0 points per game and a .818 free throw percentage. Lilly Jr. ranks seventh in both statistical categories.
