Brown’s impressive week with Team Russell included a buzzer-beater trey to send the game into overtime against Team Carrington. She finished the week just over 100 points behind Cloud.
ICYMI @Lexiebrown made the #SCTop10 last night
While we think she could've been the top play, we'll take #3️⃣. @SportsCenter, we've got plenty of games left to find your top spot 😉#BeUnlimited | #AUHoops pic.twitter.com/PdQwPg1vUD
