Marcus Brown was named All-Ohio Valley Conference three times during his MSU career and twice was named the OVC Player of the Year.
He is one of only nine former MSU players to earn All-OVC honors three times.
He holds multiple school records, including most points scored in a single-game with 45 against Washington University (Mo.) in 1995.
Brown is third all-time on the career points scored list at MSU with 2,236 and holds the MSU single-season scoring average with 26.4 points per game during the 1995-96 season.
He ranks as the all-time steals leader at MSU with 232, including a single-season record of 76 in 1994-95.
Brown ranks second at MSU in single season free throw percentage at .896, and third in all-time percentage at .849. He's also second all-time in made free throws with 585.
Brown didn't only torch the OVC competition; he was unstoppable against major programs as well. He recorded a 33-point night in 1995 against Purdue, poured in 32 points against Louisville and scored 26 points in the Racers' 1995 NCAA Tournament game against North Carolina.
Brown, who played for the Racers from 1992-96, was inducted into the MSU Hall of Fame in February 2010 and became the ninth player to have his jersey retired when his no. 5 was lifted to the rafters at the CFSB Center.
Brown was drafted by the Portland Trailblazers in 1996, but made his name with a stellar career in Europe.
He played for 14 seasons for teams in France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lithuanian and Russia.
At his retirement, Brown was the all-time American scorer in the 24-team Euroleague since the league was started in 2000.
Brown's 2,715 points in Europe goes with the 2,236 points he scored in a Murray State uniform, where he is the third leading scorer for the Racers.
Combining his prep career at West Memphis High School, Murray State and in the professional ranks, Brown was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.
