"Zuby Ejiofor was at the forefront of No. 18 St. John's success during the final week of Big East conference play. The senior big man scored 23 in a comeback win over Georgetown before posting 21 in a close win at Seton Hall. His efforts gave the Johnnies partial ownership of the Big East regular-season title, which became full ownership after Marquette upset No. 6 UConn."
"Before the season began, the coaches voted Ejiofor the Big East Preseason Player of the Year. Lofty expectations were set for Rick Pitino's homegrown superstar, and he exceeded all of them. Ejiofor received First Team All-Conference honors alongside a spot on the defensive team next to his teammate, Mitchell."
"Ejiofor is the frontrunner without a question, as he averaged 16.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game on 54.6 % shooting. Ejiofor, Redd, and Demary are likely in the running for the Big East Player of the Year."
