Was trying to think of Emeka’s signature game. One that didn’t have high stakes was his freshman year at Arizona - he finished with something like 18-15-9 and CBS had him for 12 blocks (Arizona stat crew was asleep at the switch). We won something like 104-98 in overtime, so he probably gave up some baskets too (Channing Frye was on that AZ team). It was also Ben Gordon’s breakout game with 24 or so. Our All-American (Caron) was quiet and might have been the eighth best player on the floor that day. But he kicked it into another gear a month or so later.

Emeka’s shoulder stinger game in the Elite Eight against Alabama maybe could have been one - he maybe had four or five blocks in the first 10 minutes, two on one play and one where he went up with one hand for a block, forced the Alabama guard to try a double pump reverse, and then he blocked it with his lower hand. Crazy defensive play. But Gordon and Rashad had the offensive end taken care of.
