PHILADELPHIA – The Ivy League has announced its 2019-20 All-Ivy teams in men's basketball, and it was a banner day for the University of Pennsylvania as senior forward AJ Brodeur was named co-Ivy League Player of the Year (along with Yale's Paul Atkinson) and freshman guard Jordan Dingle was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
 
This marks just the second time in program history that Penn has had both the Player of the Year and the Rookie of the Year recipients, the first coming after the 1999-2000 season when Michael Jordan was Player of the Year while Ugonna Onyekwe was Rookie of the Year.
 
Brodeur is the 17th player in program history to earn Ivy League Player of the Year honors, and the first since Zack Rosen was a unanimous choice for the honor in 2011-12. Dingle, meanwhile, is the eighth Ivy League Rookie of the Year in program history and the first since Tyler Bernardini back in 2007-08.
 
Brodeur also was a unanimous selection for first-team All-Ivy for the third straight year, making him the first three-time first-teamer since Rosen and just the 11th in program history. Senior guard Devon Goodman, meanwhile, received honorable mention All-Ivy for his second All-Ivy recognition in a row.
 
Quite simply, Brodeur has constructed one of the greatest careers in Penn men's basketball history. He is the program's all-time leader in points, blocked shots, field goals, games started and games played, and he is third in career rebounds and sixth in career assists. Among Ivy players in conference play this season, Brodeur is first in rebounds and assists per game, second in blocked shots per game and assist/turnover ratio, third in points per game, seventh in field-goal percentage, eighth in free-throw percentage, and 14th in steals per game.
 
Brodeur—who on Tuesday became Penn's first U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-District pick since Zack Rosen in 2011-12—led Penn in scoring in 14 games this season (nine of them in Ivy play) and in rebounding 20 times. He has 24 double-figure scoring games this season and 96 for his career, and his 12 double-doubles this season are the most by a Penn player in one season since Tony Price had 12 in 1977-78. Last Saturday, Brodeur celebrated his last game at The Palestra by breaking Ernie Beck's 67-year-old career points record and registering the first triple-double in program history with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Quakers' season-ending, 85-65 win over Columbia.
 
Dingle played in 25 of Penn's 27 games as a freshman, making 20 starts. He finished third on the team and tenth among Ivy players with 13.5 points per game and led the Quakers with 57 three-point baskets. He also was third on the team with 57 assists and fourth with 20 steals, averaged 3.4 rebounds per game, and finished the season with 18 double-figure scoring games including five with at least 20 points. The freshman phenom scored 24 points in his collegiate debut, a win at Alabama, and that started him off on a season that ended with six Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors. Overall, Dingle led or tied for the team lead in seven games, including 27 points with seven three-pointers in a loss to then-No. 14 Arizona at the Wooden Legacy.
 
Goodman's honor comes on the heels of another stellar campaign. He finished the regular season second among Ivy players in steals per game in conference play and also was ninth in assists per game and field-goal percentage, tenth in scoring, and 15th in 3-point field goals per contest. Goodman ended the regular season averaging 13.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest overall, and his 43 steals are tops among Ivy players overall. The senior reached double figures in scoring 20 times this season, led the team in scoring in five games (three of them Ivy contests), and enters the Ivy League Tournament needing just two points to become just the 42nd player in program history with 1,000 for his career.
 
Atkinson joined Brodeur as the only other unanimous selection to the six-player first team, while five players were on the second team and two (Goodman and Cornell's Terrance McBride) received honorable mention. Atkinson's teammate at Yale, junior Jalen Gabbidon, was co-Defensive Player of the Year along with Brown's sophomore center, Jaylan Gainey. Yale head coach James Jones was voted the Ivy League Coach of the Year by his peers.
 
Penn is 16-11 overall after a weekend sweep of Cornell and Columbia, which pushed the Quakers into the fourth seed for this weekend's Ivy League Tournament at Harvard's Lavietes Pavilion. The Red and Blue—who have won three in a row entering the postseason—will face top-seeded Yale on Saturday at 11 a.m. in a game that will air nationally on ESPNU. Second-seeded Harvard and third-seeded Princeton meet after that, at 2 p.m., and then Saturday's winners will play in the #IvyMadness Championship Game on Sunday at noon to determine the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. That game will air nationally on ESPN2.
