Broome played like anything but a freshman last week, leading the Pioneers to a pair of wins over Patriot League opponents. In doing so, he became just the third freshman in league history to be named NEC Player of the Week, joining CCSU’s Corsley Edwards (11/30/98) and Wagner’s Miladin Mutavdzic (2/2/92). The East Hartford, CT native averaged 23.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and shot 64.0 percent from the field and 92.3 percent from the line. He opened the week scoring a career and game-high 21 points to go along with three steals in SHU’s last-second win at Colgate on Wednesday. Broome converted 9-13 shots and cut the Red Raider lead to one with two minutes to play when he scored four points in four seconds. He was even better in Saturday’s 81-68 triumph over Holy Cross, setting career-bests with 25 points and nine rebounds. Broome continued his hot shooting, making 7-12 shots, including 2-3 from outside the arc. The 6-0 guard now leads the Pioneers and ranks first among NEC freshman with 13.1 ppg. He also ranks second on SHU with 4.9 rpg and is the team leader with 1.7 spg. Broome ranks in the NEC top-15 in scoring, rebounding, assists, free throw percentage and steals.
