PHILADELPHIA - Junior guard Rodney Green (Philadelphia, PA/Prep Charter) earned his third weekly honor from the Big 5 for his performances in the Explorers' 2-0 week.

Green scored a game-high 22 points in Thursday's 70-63 win at Temple, including a key 3-pointer in the second half to solidify the winning effort. He also dished out eight assists, stole five and pulled down four rebounds.

He followed up that performance with a career-high 30 points in Sunday's 97-88 win over Massachusetts. He added five assists, one steal and one block in the game. His previous career high was 26, set against Penn on Jan. 21st.
