BUFFALO, NY – Kourtney Brown, a standout on the University at Buffalo women's basketball team and the program's first Mid-American Conference Player of the Year, will have her number 10 honored on March 1st at Alumni Arena. Her number 10 will be lifted to the rafters at halftime of the Bulls' game against Eastern Michigan.
Brown played for the Bulls from 2006-11 and is Buffalo's all-time leader in blocked shots (260) and field goals made (805) while ranking second in scoring (1,995) and rebounding (1,124) and third in free throws made (385) and games played (123). In 2011, she became the first, and to this date the program's only, Mid-American Conference Player of the Year after averaging 22.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game to help lead the Bulls to a WBI postseason tournament appearance, the program's first-ever postseason tournament invitation.
Brown finished her brilliant playing career by leading the MAC in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and blocked shots her senior season and was the only player in the country in the top 10 nationally in those categories as she finished the season eighth in scoring, fifth in rebounding and blocked shots and sixth in field goal percentage.
She is a two-time MAC Defensive Player of the Year and a 2011 honorable mention All-American. Brown holds the single-season MAC record for field goals made and is the MAC's career record holder for blocked shots. Off the court, Brown was a three-time Academic All-MAC selection and earned second-team Academic All-District honors in the 2010-11 season.
During the 2011-12 season, Brown played professionally in Spain for Caceres in the LF2, losing in the league semifinals. In her one year in Spain, Brown averaged 20.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game.
Following her playing career, Brown returned to her alma mater as an assistant coach for two seasons followed by two seasons on the staff at Louisiana Tech, where she got her master's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Brown is currently a DFM Manager at Samsung. She was inducted into the Dr. and Mrs. Edmond J. Gicewicz Family UB Athletics Hall of Fame in February of 2022 and into the MAC Hall of Fame in April of 2023.
Brown will join Brenna Doty (no. 31) as well as Harold Kuhn (no. 19), Jim Horne (no. 13), Curtis Blackmore (no. 52), Sam Pellom (no. 50), Rasaun Young (no. 11) and Turner Battle (also no. 11) who have had their numbers honored.
