The Bearkats placed more student-athletes on the 10-man academic honor squad than any other team in the league. Nine Sam Houston men's basketball players have earned Academic All-Southland honors a total of 20 times since the 2006 season.
Brown was a first team selection and Crow and Pevehouse were named to the second team.
Brown, a 6-6 senior forward from Stringtown, Ok., also earned ESPN The Magazine / CoSIDA Academic All-District first team honors this year. The kinesiology major boasts a 3.36 overall grade point average. Brown was fourth for Sam Houston's 2010 Southland Conference men's basketball team in scoring with an 8.6 average and totaled 5.3 rebounds per game.
Crow, a 6-4 junior forward from Houston Westfield, owns a 3.36 overall grade point average as a business major. He finished the season No. 1 in the Southland and No. 2 in NCAA Division I men's basketball in assist/turnover ratio (3.3). He was No. 4 in the Southland in assists and in the top 10 in the league in steals. A starter all year, he averaged 8.1 points and 5.8 rebounds for the Southland Conference champions.
Pevehouse, a 6-2 junior guard from League City, holds a 3.40 overall grade point average as a business management major. Pevehouse was the hero of the Kats in the Southland tournament in Katy with his crucial tip-in in the Nicholls win and a big 3-pointer to spark a late comeback in the Southeastern Louisiana comeback victory. Pevehouse averaged 6.0 points and 4.1 rebounds for the Bearkat squad that earned Sam Houston its second NCAA "Big Dance" berth.
