Brion Rush is the scoring machine you've never heard of. You know about Redick and Morrison (and if you read this site regularly, about
Clark and
Burtt and
Neal), but this 6'2" senior guard from Shreveport is sixth in the nation in both points per game (24.1 ppg) and points per 40 min. (28.7 p40). Granted, he takes a lot of shots to get there (209 in 11 games), but he leads his team in assists (2.9 apg) and rebounds too (6.4 rpg).
On Saturday, Rush had the night of his career, dropping 39 points on an unsuspecting Texas Southern squad and leading his Tigers to a squeaker home win. It was the ninth time he's led his team in scoring this season, and Grambling is now 3-2 in the SWAC.
