SAVANNAH, Georgia -- A small sea of green found its way onto campus at Savannah State University on Thursday night. A favorite son, Rion Brown, had come home.
“It was a great thing they did for me,” said Brown, a Savannah native and former Liberty County High School star, who returned to his neighborhood and scored 13 points while helping the Miami Hurricanes to a 68-51 victory over Savannah State.
Miami coach Jim Larranaga said the game was scheduled in Savannah as a tribute to Brown, who has meant so much to the program.
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard was the featured attraction Thursday night, along with a rare opportunity to see a big-time program like Miami, and a crowd of 3,370 took advantage.
Brown made 5 of 11 shots from the field, 1 of 5 3-pointers and had five assists and two steals.
