Tulane men’s basketball redshirt junior guard Rowan Brumbaugh was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-Gulf District Second Team on March 18. This marks the second consecutive season that Brumbaugh has received all-district honors from the NABC.
Brumbaugh led Tulane in several key statistical categories this season, including scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals. He averaged 19.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game over 33 starts for the Green Wave. His performance placed him among the top ten players in the American Conference in multiple areas such as scoring, assists, steals, assist-to-turnover ratio, and minutes played.
Throughout the season, Brumbaugh scored in double figures in 30 games and reached a career-high of 35 points twice—once against Charlotte on January 23 and again versus Memphis during the first round of the American Championship on March 11. He also recorded ten games with at least twenty points and four games with more than thirty points. Additionally, he posted eleven games with five or more assists and seven games with at least three steals.
Brumbaugh’s junior campaign saw him accumulate a total of 632 points and make 193 free throws across nearly twelve hundred minutes played. These achievements ranked him second in single-season points, third in free throws made and attempted (240), and fourth in minutes played within Tulane program history. He also earned American Conference Second Team honors and was recognized as Player of the Week once after being named Preseason Player of the Year by the league.
Over his first two seasons at Tulane, Brumbaugh has totaled 1,160 points, 296 rebounds, 281 assists, and 105 steals across sixty-seven games. He became just the fortieth player in program history to surpass one thousand career points during a win over UAB on February 15. Currently he ranks twenty-seventh all-time at Tulane for career points scored.
