Scottie Reynolds has been named the Big 5 Outstanding Player of the Year by the Herb Good Basketball Club.

Reynolds, who completed his senior year at Villanova, will receive the Robert V. Geasey Trophy at the club's 65th annual banquet next Monday.

Reynolds was joined on the All-Big 5 team by Villanova's Corey Fisher, La Salle's Rodney Green and Temple's Ryan Brooks and Lavoy Allen.

Reynolds was selected All-Big 5 all 4 years at Villanova. Green also was a first-team member last year.

Reynolds averaged 18.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists this season as Villanova advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

The second-team All-Big 5 members are: La Salle's Aaric Murray, Penn's Zack Rosen, Villanova's Antonio Pena, Temple's Juan Fernandez and Saint Joseph's Garrett Williamson.

The banquet will be held at the Savoy (formerly the Woodbine Inn), 1444 Route 73 North, Pennsauken, N.J. For ticket information, call Brett Burchette at the Big 5 office at 215-898-4747 or Al Shrier at Temple at 215-651-1821.
