He posted the second double-double of his career in an 83-63 victory over Penn State, scoring 19 points, including a season-high five 3-pointers, while dishing out a game-high 11 assists. Brown also had four rebounds and two steals while committing only one turnover against the Nittany Lions.

He followed with another clutch performance at Iowa, shooting 7-of-11 from the floor (.636) for the second consecutive game to finish with 18 points, while adding three assists and two steals.
