Rosen named Big 5 Rookie of the Year

The Herb Good Basketball Club has given out some Philadelphia hoops awards, and Zack Rosen has won the Dave Zinkoff Award for Big 5 Rookie of the Year. He did not win the Ivy League equivalent. This is the second-straight year a Quakers hoopster has won the award. Last year Tyler Bernardini won it with 12.9 points, 26.7 minutes, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Rosen's stats were arguably better (8.1 points, 31.1 minutes, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists (which led the Ivy league) per game). Previously no Penn player ever won it.

Senior Kevin Egee also won the Harry Merrill Sportsmanship Award.

In addition, Villanova coach Jay Wright won Coach of the Year, which shouldn't come as a surprise. The Big 5 Player of the Year announcement should come soon (Dionte Christmas has my vote).
