Topping his performance from the Cardinal’s previous NIT semifinal game will prove tough, but certainly not impossible, for Anthony Brown when Stanford faces Old Dominion at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Topping the motivation jolt Brown and his teammates received before they beat Massachusetts three years ago? In the pregame locker room March 27, 2012, then-Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis delivered some fiery words to the Cardinal. “Ray Lewis is known as one of the all-time greatest motivators, speech givers, that we have in sports today,” Brown said in a phone interview. Brown, then a sophomore, responded by scoring a season-high 18 points in a 74-64 victory over the Minutemen. The 6-foot-6 swingman is Stanford’s second-leading scorer at 15 points per game (Chasson Randle is tops at 19.3). Brown leads the team in rebounds (6.9 per game) and three-point field-goal percentage (43.3). “I’m just really, really proud of the man that he has become,” Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins said of Brown, who came to Stanford at age 17 and is working on a master’s in the media-studies program. Old Dominion head coach Jeff Jones won an NIT championship as Virginia’s head coach in 1992.
