But C Brandon Braun has other things in mind. Playing in front of a national audience, Braun put up 33 pts and grabbed 6 offensive rebounds. If we can just put up a sequence of defensive stops in the 2nd half, and continue to go to Braun offense, we might have a chance to pull this off Halftime: Down 43-45 Key stat(s) FG: DELST 40%, MEM 64%Off Rebounds: DELST 10, MEM 3Key Players DELST: C Brandon Braun 33 pts, 8 rebs 2nd Half Defense has been the priority of both teams in the 2nd half. C Brandon Braun getting limited touches. 11:28: Down 52-54 We got into the penalty; PG Sidney Petteway and SG Lewis Lepore both with 4 fouls. I gave C Brandon Braun just 1 min of rest here in the 2nd half 7:35, Down 62-63 We tied the game twice, but MEM scores each time. After knotting the score again, we made a stop. We went back to C Brandon Braun, he delivers once more, and we take the upper hand! Braun with 47 pts 5:13, Up 69-67 Lead was exchanged twice. Teams also traded turn overs. Its going down the wire here 3:52, Up 71-69 MEM with possession. They missed a shot; we grabbed the rebound. We cant get it to C Brandon Braun. C Jamal Swift takes it inside; blocked. MEM recovers the ball. MEM missing again. Timeout 2:48, Up 71-69 Pass intended to C Brandon Braun was stolen, and MEM scores on the break. Tied game. C Jamal Swift missed. We got called for a foul. SG Lewis Lepore fouls out. MEM makes both FTs. Timeout 2:15, Down 71-73 I keep on encouraging the team. Lots of time left. SF Anthony Jefferson drives. Miss. MEM with the rebound. We're scoreless in the last 3 minutes. MEM missed on their next possession. Another chance here. But we turned the ball over. Foul; PG Sidney Petteway fouls out. MEM splits. Timeout 1:21, Down 71-74 SG Kevin Stokes shot was blocked! MEM with 9 blks in the game. MEM with the ball. MEM scores a jumper. Timeout 0:40, Down 71-76 We would need a 3. PG Brandon Perry missed a 3. We gave up a foul. MEM makes both FTs and were down 3 possessions. We missed another 3. Season over. We were held scoreless in the last 4+ mins. It was still a gallant effort. Outstanding freshman season for C Brandon Braun. Looking forward to his improvements in the off season, plus with a deeper team, we'll make some noise again next year Final Score: Delaware St - 71, Memphis - 81 Box Scores Braun 47, 8, 1, 3 stls Lepore 7, 3, 5, 3 stls, 5 tos Stokes 7, 2, 3, 5 tos Petteway 5, 1, 4, 4 tos, fouled out Murphy 3, 1, 0 Swift 2, 11, 0, 2 blks Jefferson 0, 4, 3 Perry 0, 0, 0 Team Stats FG: 43-54% Rebs: -3 Asts: +1 TOs: -1 Pts in paint: +14 2nd chance: Even Fast break: -4 Post game observations (+): C Brandon Braun showed he is one of the best players in the country, and a leading candidate for the Norton award(-): We need to add at least 2 more players to our rotation; we didn't had enough gas left in the end game

Career Game #30 2001 MEAC Tournament Finals Mar 4 2001: (2) Delaware St (21-8, 11-5) vs (8) Belmont (15-15, 8-8) Scouting Report Offense: fast pace, balanced, lots of freedom, motionDefense: m2m, rarely pressKey Players: Fr SF Jaquay Young 12.2. ppg, 5.5 rpgNotes: BEL gave us a good beating in our only meeting this season, scoring 88 pts. BEL has scored 80+ pts 5 times already this season, so more than ever, we need to bring our best defensive effort 1st Half We came up with a good start, and C Brandon Braun on attack mode, forcing BEL to give up 17 fouls. We led by as many as 17, but BEL had a good finish, and showing they have the capability to turn this game around in the 2nd half Halftime: Up 44-34 Key stat(s) FT: DELST 16-24, BEL 8-103PT: DELST 6-14, BEL 0-2Key Players DELST: C Brandon Braun 17 pts, 8 rebs, 9-14 FT 2nd Half We went exclusively zone in the 2nd half, knowing that BEL is not comfortable taking outside shots. BEL made just 1 of their 1st 10 attempts from deep, before making 4 during garbage time when the game was already long decided. We led by as many as 27. C Brandon Braun, who scored only a combined 27 pts during the 1st 2 games of the tournament, has surpassed that total in this game. SG Kevin Stokes also had a sensational 2nd half. Overall, this was probably the finest game we played all season, saving the best when it mattered most. 2001 MEAC Tournament Champs. We're going to the Big Dance!

Career Game #29 2001 MEAC Tournament Semi Finals Mar 3 2001: (3) Norfolk St (19-9, 10-6) vs (2) Delaware St (20-8, 11-5) Scouting Report Offense: normal pace, outside, some freedom, triangleDefense: 2-3, rarely pressKey Players: Jr SG Erik Carroll 10.1 ppg, 4.3 rpgNotes: We won in our only meeting this season, but NORST has gone 7-2 since that loss. NORST still the best defensive team in the conference, both #1 in opp ppg (61.5) and opp FG (38.9%). C Brandon Braun had his career-low 3 pts in that game against NORST 1st Half NORST still doing a relatively good job defending against C Brandon Braun (8 pts) but our guards are stepping up once again. NORST wants to game to be a defensive battle, but we're having the better defense so far Halftime: Up 35-27 Key stat(s) FG: DELST 48%, NORST 31%Key Players DELST: SG Kevin Stokes 14 pts, 3 3s 2nd Half A 12-3 run to start the 2nd half; C Brandon Braun scored 3 inside baskets during that stretch. We led by 17. NORST momentarily cut their deficit to 12, but we responded with a 13-2 blast, evaporating any chance of a comeback. Reserves got plenty of action in the end.

Career Game #28 2001 MEAC Tournament Mar 2 2001: (10) Bethune-Cookman (11-17, 5-11) vs (2) Delaware St (19-8, 11-5) BETH scored an upset win over (7) Morgan St in the last round Scouting Report Offense: normal pace, inside, not many freedom, 5 outDefense: 2-3, press at pointsKey Players: Sr SG Johnny Jackson 13.5 ppgNotes: We swept BETH this season, but both games were very competitive. BETH made 10 3s in their last game against MORG 1st Half This time our defense has done its job, not only forcing turnovers, but also we defended the interior. Scoring has been balanced, with 4 players having at least 7 pts each Halftime: Up 38-26 Key stat(s) FG: DELST 46%, BETH 32%Turn overs: DELST 6, BETH 11Key Players DELST: SF Anthony Jefferson 10 pts, 2 3sBETH: SG Johnny Jackson 9 pts 2nd Half PG Sidney Petteway picked up his 4th foul early in the 2nd half. We continue to keep BETH under 40% FG, and on the other hand, we're making a decent amount of outside shots 11:58: Up 51-34 Fouls have mounted up on us, with 3 guards having 4 fouls each. Still a safe lead, but anything can happen esp since we're in the penalty 5:44: Up 58-44 BETH cut down our lead 11 earlier, but PG Sidney Petteway and SG Kevin Stokes able to deliver clutch baskets 3:12 Up 66-51 BETH made a turn over, and then missed their FTs on consecutive possessions. That should do it.
