He was 7 of 14 from the field, knocked down three 3-pointers and was 9 of 10 from the free throw line. He also dished out a game-high four assists and added four rebounds and one steal. Brown transferred to Weber State this summer from Grand Canyon. He also played two seasons at Northwestern.

Senior Michal Kozak, playing in his 97th career game at Weber State, scored in double figures with 10 points and also grabbed four rebounds and had three assists.
• Weber State is one of 23 teams in the nation that has only played one game so far this season.
• Westminster is 2-0 on the season. The Griffins are coming off back-to-back wins over MSU Denver and Colorado Christian. This will be their third Division I game against a Utah team. They lost 108-59 at BYU and 79-71 at Utah Valley in exhibition games.
• This will be the ninth game ever between the two schools, with Weber State holding an 8-0 all-time record against the Griffins, including a 5-0 record in Ogden.
