PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Big 5 has announced its 2019-20 award winners and All-Big 5 teams in men's and women's basketball, and the University of Pennsylvania is represented on the men's side by seniors AJ Brodeur and Devon Goodman as for the second year in a row Brodeur was named first-team All-Big 5 while Goodman was a second-team All-Big 5 selection.
 
This marks the fourth straight year Penn has had two players earn All-Big 5 recognition; prior to 2016-17, the last time Penn had two players earn All-Big 5 honors in the same season was 2010-11 (Jack Eggleston, Zack Rosen). In addition, Brodeur is just the 15th Penn player named first-team All-Big 5 more than once and the first since Rosen (2010-11 and 2011-12).
 
The Big 5 honor adds to Brodeur's list of postseason awards. He became the 17th player in program history named Ivy League Player of the Year—sharing the honor with Yale's Paul Atkinson—and was a unanimous selection for first-team All-Ivy for the third straight year, making him the first three-time first-teamer since Rosen (2010-12) and just the 11th in program history. Brodeur also was a first-team All-District pick by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), Penn's first such honoree since 2011-12, and was a second-team Mid-Major All-America selection by The Athletic. Brodeur also earned first-team All-District from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) for the third year in a row.
 
Quite simply, Brodeur constructed one of the greatest careers in Penn men's basketball history. He graduates as 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 League players in conference play this season, Brodeur finished 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 led Penn in scoring in 14 games this season (nine of them in Ivy play) and in rebounding 20 times. He had 24 double-figure scoring games this season and 96 for his career, and his 12 double-doubles this season were the most by a Penn player in one season since Tony Price had 12 in 1977-78. On March 7, 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.
 
Goodman—who also garnered honorable mention All-Ivy recognition this season—had 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 season averaging 13.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest overall, and his 43 steals were tops among Ivy players overall. The senior reached double figures in scoring 20 times this season, and led the team in scoring in five games (three of them Ivy contests).
 
Penn finished the 2019-20 season with a 16-11 record and tied for fourth place in the Ivy League standings with an 8-6 mark, earning the fourth seed in the since-canceled Ivy League Tournament ahead of Brown.
