Rosen named Big 5 Player of the Year

Even as senior Zack Rosen competes at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, he is still being honored at home.

The guard won the Robert V. Geasey Award as the Philadelphia Big 5 player of the year making him the sixth different member of the Quakers to win the award. (Ron Haigler won the award in 1973-74 and 1974-75.)

The 6-foot-1 guard set program records in all-time assists, minutes and games played and was named to the first-team All-Big 5 along with Temple's Ramone Moore and Khaliff Wyatt, 'Nova's Maalike Wayns and Langston Galloway of St. Joseph's. Rosen was the only Penn player to be honored as All-Big 5.

Rosen also won the Palumbo Trophy as the city's scoring champion. Former Penn coach Fran Dunphy won Coach of the Year and his Owls' squad won the Team of the Year.
