Braxton made it back-to-back NEC Player of the Week honors after stuffing the stat sheet for the Red Flash in a split to open league play. The Glassboro, NJ native averaged 23.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals, while shooting a robust 61.3 percent from the floor and 60.0 percent from three-point territory. Braxton helped spark a second half comeback that came up just short on Friday when the Red Flash rattled off a late 20-2 run to tie things up at CCSU before the Blue Devils scored the last four points to win, 72-68. He finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, four assists and a career-high seven steals. Braxton flirted with a triple-double two days later, recording a career-high 29 points to go along with 12 rebounds and eight assists in SFU’s 86-82 overtime win at Bryant in a game that saw the Flash erase an eight-point deficit in the final five minutes of regulation. He made 11-15 from the floor, including 5-6 from distance. Braxton leads the NEC in rebounding (9.2) and double-doubles (7), and ranks in the conference top-10 in scoring (18.1, 5th), assists (3.5, 10th), field goal percentage (.524, 5th) and free throw percentage (.800, 7th).
