Brown opened its season with a 59-55 loss to New Hampshire after a strong defensive first half gave way to a second-half comeback. Jeremiah Jenkins scored a game-high 17 points, but the Wildcats took control with a decisive run late and held off Brown’s final push.

  • Jenkins: 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
