Tyler Rosen has completed his second year as a graduate assistant with LMU with the 2025-26 season, contributing to one of the most historic campaigns in program history. The Lions earned a postseason berth in the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament – just the fourth postseason appearance in program history and the first since 2018-19 – falling in a tightly contested 80-76 matchup on the road at Stanford Cardinal women's basketball. LMU captured the WCC Regular Season Championship outright, its first conference title since 2003-04, and posted a 15-3 conference record, the best mark in program history, while finishing with 21 total wins to tie for the second-most in a single season. The Lions also put together a nine-game winning streak – their longest since the 2003-04 championship season – and secured a signature victory over Gonzaga Bulldogs women's basketball, snapping a 35-game losing streak and earning their first win in the series since 2008. Individually, LMU saw a resurgence in conference honors, earning its first All-WCC First Team selections since 2018-19 and placing two players on the First Team in the same season for just the sixth time in program history and the first since 2003-04. Picked ninth in the WCC Preseason Coaches Poll, the Lions exceeded expectations while building on strong late-season momentum from 2024-25, when they closed with three straight conference wins and a WCC Tournament victory. Despite early-season injuries limiting key contributors, LMU also posted a resilient 6-5 nonconference record, setting the foundation for a championship run.
A native of Fresno, California, Rosen graduated from the University of Michigan in the summer of 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in sport management. During his time at Michigan, he served as a student manager for the women’s basketball program, gaining hands-on experience in team operations and player support, and also worked youth basketball clinics with the Detroit Pistons. Rosen is continuing his academic and professional development at LMU while pursuing a master’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Innovation.
