Kobe Brown Earns All-SEC Honors

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — University of Missouri men’s basketball junior Kobe Brown earned All-SEC recognition, announced Tuesday by the Southeastern Conference office. 

As voted on by the league’s head coaches, Brown was named Second-Team All-SEC, one of 17 student-athletes honored on the first or second team. It marks the second-consecutive season Mizzou has featured an All-SEC athlete.

Brown had a standout season, leading Mizzou in nearly every statistical category. He ranked fifth in the SEC through the regular-season in rebounds per game and top-20 in points per game. The Huntsville, Alabama, native is averaging 12.6 points per game, 7.8 rebounds per game, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game.  

He shot at a 47.8 percent clip from the floor and 80 percent at the free throw line. He tallied five double-doubles and 16 double-digit scoring efforts, six of which were 20 or more points, including a 30-point outburst against then-No. 15 Alabama. Brown earned SEC Player of the Week honors earlier this season, following the Alabama game where he scored 30 points in addition to 13 rebounds and four assists. He was the 27th Mizzou player to have a 30+ point game, and the second to do so in SEC play. 

Against LSU in February, Brown eclipsed 500 career rebounds, becoming the second player to do so in a Mizzou uniform by his junior season in the last 25 years. He joins Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe as the only active SEC juniors with 500 or more career rebounds. 

Brown and the Tigers team open play in the 2022 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament on Wednesday, March 9 at 5 p.m. CT against Ole Miss. The game is slated to air on SEC Network and Tiger Radio Network. Should the Tigers’ advance, they would face off against fifth-seeded LSU, on Thursday, March 10. Full SEC Tournament information can be found online.
