February 23, 2015 - Freshman forward Isaac Copeland has received back to back accolades from the BIG EAST Conference; today, for the second consecutive time, Copeland was named the league's Rookie of the Week. To be accurate, it's the third time in the last five weeks Copeland has been so honored.

His work during last week's two wins stood as 12 points on 50% shooting, eight rebounds and three helpers each game, victories over St. John's and DePaul.
Before last week's St. John's game Copeland discussed his then second ROW award: "Just like the last time, it's a great honor, but I'm more concerned about winning right now. Happy to get it, but just want to win games".
For the season, the freshman from Raleigh, NC has averaged 6.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per contest. Points-wise he's really turned it on the last 10 games, reaching double figures seven times during that stretch, including the last three straight times.
