Brian LaWan Alexander (born August 26, 1975) is a retired American professional basketball player who played with Salon Vilpas (Finland) of the EuroBasket. He attended and played college basketball at the University of Detroit Mercy. In Alexander's senior year, the Titans were conference regular season champions behind a 12–2 MCC record and earned a berth into the 1998 NCAA Tournament. After upsetting St. John's in the first round, Alexander was asked by a reporter after the win about Dick Vitale and his response was "I didn't even know Dick Vitale coached at Detroit until after I got here," Titans center Brian Alexander said. "Hopefully, he'll talk about us now and wake up some people around the country who didn't know who we were and why we were invited to this tournament." Detroit lost in the round of 32 to a strong Purdue squad, ending their year with an overall record of 25–6. Considered one of the Top 50 Midwestern Collegiate Conference / Horizon League Players from (1994-2012).
