Happ goes off at the Garden:
Vitto Brown burst onto the scene last year in his junior season when he lept from 6.4 minutes per game to more than 25. Most shockingly, he stepped into a role as a lights-out, spot-up 3-point shooter. In his first two seasons in Madison, Brown took exactly zero threes. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he drilled 40 percent of his 95 attempts from deep last season and got out to a solid start to the 2016-’17 season. But since the Big Ten season began, Brown has regressed to an unreliable shooter that is mostly on the court for defensive purposes and his strong grasp of the offense. He shot just 25.8 percent from deep range during the conference season and a putrid 39.6 percent from inside the arc. For Brown, the key won’t be performing well in March, it will be not falling apart.
