Senior Marshon Brooks Named First Team All-BIG EAST

March 6, 2011

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Providence College senior Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) was named First Team All-BIG EAST on Sunday, March 6 after having one of the greatest offensive seasons in the history of the league. Brooks broke the BIG EAST single-game scoring mark when he recorded 52 points on 20-28 shooting against No. 9 Notre Dame on February 23. His 20 field goals against No. 9 Notre Dame set a BIG EAST record for the most field goals in a game. He also established the BIG EAST single-season scoring mark with 468 points in 18 league games. Brooks set these records while leading the league in scoring in overall action (24.8 ppg) and in league action (26.0 ppg). He averaged 26.0 ppg in 18 league games, which is the fifth highest single-season average in 32 years of BIG EAST play.

He is the only player in the nation averaging more than 24.0 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game (7.2 rpg). His 24.8 ppg average ranks second in the nation.

Brooks became the ninth Friar all-time to earn All-BIG EAST First Team honors and the first since Herbert Hill earned the accolade in 2007. It also is the 10th time a PC player has received All-BIG EAST First Team.

Brooks has had a very productive season as he has scored 20 or more points in 25 of 31 games, including four games where he scored 30 or more points. For the season, he has recorded 768 points, which ranks as the third highest single season total in Friar history. He also has registered 269 field goals, which is the fourth highest single season total all-time at PC. He has provided 32.5 percent of the team's offense becoming just the second Friar since 1967 to account for at least 30 percent of the team's scoring. That total is the fourth most ever in a single season at Providence.

For his career, Brooks has scored 1,609 points. He ranks 10th all-time in scoring at Providence and has averaged 14.4 ppg for his career.
