Do you remember: Zack Rosen's 30 point performance

 

It seems like we just can't get enough of last night's game. Noah, Jennifer and Kevin pretty much covered everything, but I want to take a look back and compare Zack Rosen's performance with the first time he scored 30. Do you remember?

It was almost a year ago (January 3), and the Quakers lost to Lafayette, 77-62 — their tenth straight. And the final score was not the only difference between the two performances.

Aside from Rosen's career high, Jack Eggleston also notched a then-career high 19 points and 11 rebounds. But other than that, the duo didn't get much help. Darren Smith scored eight, and Conor Turley and Danny Monckton scored three and two, respectively. That's it. Rob Belcore played 35 minutes and failed to put any points on the board, though he did grab eight rebounds (Penn out-rebounded the Leopards, 37-31).

While the Quakers were handily outscored off the bench by both opponents (22-2 by Lafayette and 20-2 by Delaware), that didn't matter so much last night. Instead of Rosen carrying his team, he led it. Miles Cartwright scored 20, Conor Turley posted 14 and Eggleston had eight points and 10 rebounds.

In the words of Cartwright:

[Rosen's] our leader, and when he can get it going, we want to be there to support him any way we can. That’s what I was trying to do today, just trying to play off of him. And once he got it going, I think it lifted all of our play up.
