Former Ohio State guard, captain and two-time Big Ten champion Jamaal Brown dies at age 52.
An Arlington, Texas, native who attended Sam Houston High School, Brown went on to start in all but one of his 127 appearances for the Buckeyes. Brown averaged 9.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 26.5 minutes per game for his Ohio State career. With 1,139 career points, Brown ranks 42nd in program history.
Brown was the third-leading scorer as a junior on the Buckeyes' 1990-91 roster, which featured standouts such as Jim Jackson and Chris Jent and finished 27-4 with a Big Ten regular season crown in Randy Ayers' second year as head coach. Ohio State secured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament that season.
Brown also scored 9.9 points per game for another Big Ten champion Buckeye team as a senior, and Ohio State repeated as a No. 1 seed come March. Brown’s final Ohio State team went 26-6 and made it to the Elite Eight, which is the furthest the program had advanced in the Big Dance in more than two decades.
Jamaal Brown was one of the very first Buckeyes I grew to love!! He was the glue guy on that squad with Jimmy, Bake, Treg, PC, and Jent!!! One of my all time favorite Buckeye teams!!!!!! I am sick man!!!! Rest up, OG!! 30
