"Ejiofor propelled the 18th-ranked Red Storm (25-6, 18-2) to their second consecutive outright regular-season title, averaging 17 points, seven rebounds, four assists and 1.8 blocks in league games. He is the lone player in high-major college basketball to lead his team and rank among the top 10 in his conference in all four of those statistical categories."

"Ejiofor, the conference preseason player of the year, also was the only unanimous pick for the inaugural Big East All-Defensive Team, which included Mitchell, Clark, Demary and Chase Ross from Marquette."
