As a freshman, Mislav Brzoja tallied a total of 2 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in 41 total minutes through the 2012-13 season.

The Zagreb native is averaging 18 points a game in three games with the Croatian National Team at the FIBA U19 World Championships currently being held in the Czech Republic. In those three starts through the qualifying rounds, the rising Villanova sophomore is shooting 44.4% from three-point range; including a 6-9 performance in a loss against the world's second ranked country- Spain.

Brzoja's 18 is second on the squad behind Dario Saric's output of 23 ppg. The Villanovan's average was also the fifth best in Group A.

Croatia's 2-1 record through the preliminary round advanced them to the "Eight Final Round". Croatia, nicknamed the Vatreni, will next face Argentina (Monday), Lithuania (Tuesday), and Iran (Wednesday).
