Milestones
Senior guard Tyler Bernardini will make his 100th appearance wearing the Penn uniform on Friday night against Columbia. If classmate Zack Rosen starts both games this weekend -- and chances are good he will -- his start at Cornell on Saturday will be his 100th at Penn.
Record Setter!
Senior guard Zack Rosen had four assists last Wednesday at Lafayette, giving him 506 for his career which is the program record. The previous mark of 505 was set by Rosen's current head coach, Jerome Allen, from 1992-95. Rosen had nine Tuesday against La Salle and now has 515 in his career.
An Original!
Rosen again. With his nine assists Tuesday night against La Salle, the senior guard reached exactly 100 for the season and became the first player at Penn to record four seasons with 100 or more assists. (He had 139 his freshman year, 124 his sophomore year, and 152 last season as a junior.) Assists have been kept as an individual stat at Penn since 1978-79.
