All-Time Scoring Update

 

Last night was a big scoring night for Penn (they haven't scored this many points on Princeton since the 1970s), and especially for Zack Rosen. I spent most of the day with him for another piece I'm writing, and I tracked his shots during warmups before the game.

Without getting into the nitty gritty, I combined every shot that I saw (there were many more throughout the 40-minute routine) rather than splitting up FG, FT and 3-pt. By my count, he went 134-for-179: a .749 shooting percentage. Yeah, you could say he was feelin' it.

So it's fitting that Monday night was the night that he finally beat Princeton at the Palestra and surpassed his head coach in all-time points. Rosen's 28 bumped him ahead of Allen into Penn's No. 8 spot, while Tyler Bernardini's 14 points pushed him up to No. 12.

By my estimation, Rosen will probably finish No. 3 behind Ernie Beck and Ugonna Onyekwe. He's 147 points away from reaching that point, but would need another 118 to pass Onyekwe.

While the duo continues to steadily climb up the list, I'll be sure to keep you updated.
