Green Bay absolutely dismantled Lawrence 94-51 last night in their season opener, and Ne’quan Brown was right at the center of the Phoenix’s explosive start, dropping 14 points.
Phoenix Offense Fired Up From Tip-Off
Talk about setting a tone! The Phoenix came out swinging on Monday night, racking up 94 points in a massive win. Ne’quan Brown led the charge, pouring in 14 points on some super efficient shooting: he went 4 for 6 from the field, including a red-hot 2 for 3 from beyond the arc. He even hit 4 of 5 from the free-throw line, showing he’s locked in from everywhere.
But Brown wasn’t the only one cooking. Marcus Hall chipped in with 12 points, also going 2 for 3 from deep on his way to 4 of 7 overall from the field. And don’t forget Stewart Erhart II, who added nine points, going 3 of 6 from the field and nailing 2 of 3 from downtown. This team was hitting everything!
Vikings Couldn’t Keep Up, Despite Campbell’s Effort
On the other side of the court, the Lawrence Vikings just couldn’t find their rhythm against Green Bay’s onslaught. They only managed 51 points total, a tough night for sure. C.J. Campbell tried to rally the troops, leading the Vikings with 14 points of his own, matching Brown for individual scoring. But it just wasn’t enough to make a dent in that huge deficit.
Nolan Koch and Nicholas Gouriotis each added six points, but the scoring simply wasn’t there for Lawrence. You could tell it was a rough season opener for them, especially facing a Phoenix squad that looked like they were already in mid-season form.
Green Bay made a serious statement in their first game out of the gate, and now they’ll look to carry that momentum forward. Their next test comes quickly, as they visit Cincinnati on Thursday. Can they keep this offensive fire lit on the road? We’ll be watching!
