Penn guard Zack Rosen was the unanimous choice for Ivy League player of the year in a vote of the conference's eight coaches.
Rosen is the fourth player to receive the Player of the Year honor in a unanimous vote since 2000. The previous three were Michael Jordan in 2000, Ibrahim Jaaber in 2006 and Ryan Wittman in 2010.
