Jeff Adrien, a 2005 Brewster graduate and power forward helped the UConn Huskies to the regional finals of the Washington DC bracket. The #1 UConn team fell to #11 George Mason University in the Elite 8. Adrien scored a career high 17 points and had a team high 7 rebounds in the contest.

Before Adrien and his team met George Mason, they defeated the University of Washington, whose roster includes two Brewster alums – Joel Smith, who graduated in 2004, and Harvey Perry, a 2005 Brewster graduate. Smith is a small forward and Perry is a shooting guard for Washington.

“Adrien and Perry were roommates at Brewster, and Joel Smith served as Jeff Adrien's tour guide when he visited campus in the fall of 2003,” said Brewster Coach Jason Smith, who was at the game rooting for his former players.

Adrien was recently named to the All Freshman Team in the Big East Conference. Off the court Adrien had been penning "Jeff Adrien's NCAA Diary" column for the Boston Herald.

Another Brewster hoopster who was in contention for a championship is 2005 graduate Chad Millard, a forward for the University of Louisville who lost in the semifinals of the National Invitational Tournament.
