His growth from freshman year to present is most impressive. Through relentless work he developed an outside shot, court vision, passing, and endurance. If he doesn't develop all of those things, we are not where we are today.

Not sure it’s quite that close.

If we were doing first, second, third team all-UConn he can be second team (which is of course no insult at all) but Emeka was just one of the best college players ever period
Indeed - not to play into the ridiculous claim that we "lucked" into this because all the top seeds lost, but Emeka had 18 in the second half and nearly single-handedly beat Duke (KP #1) in the Final Four to send us to the championship game.

Adama has been great this Tourney. His game is better now than ever. The corner drive along the baseline was special. His help D is greatly improved. His vision and passing is better, and he’s cut down on dribbling in the paint. Super improvements all around that don’t all show on the stat sheets. Still hate him taking 3s, but it certainly worked like a charm.

He is making choosing a starting five of UConn greats even more difficult.
And let us hope makes it even more difficult after it all said and done Monday night.

When he has time shoot the 3 from the top of the key he is good. But is not as good at shooting them like Nunge or Eric Dixon

Yeah he does need time and space, but teams usually give it to him.

Huge key to the game. Hurley clearly wanted to drag Omier outside to impact Miami’s rebounding. So Adama gets the green light and hits them both.
That was absolutely killer. The Miami kids mustve been thinking "like dude w.t.f?!!! seriously?!!!" This team takes your soul.

Emeka was player of the year and insane defensively.

1. Emeka
2. Sanogo

And that's nos light on Sanogo. Who is a better post player than Emeka, which in itself is a pretty amazing thing to say.

Would love to see Emeka defending Adama in the post Emeka’s prime.
