Fresh off a March Madness run that included a historic 16-over-1 win against Purdue, FDU secured a terrific opening night road win over Buffalo, thanks in part to a spectacular performance from Emanuel. After demonstraing boundless potential last season, the springy sophomore forward posted his first career double-double, establishing new career-bests with 24 points and 11 rebounds in the 92-86 win. Emanuel, who hails from Suffern, NY, shot 11-18 from the field, including 2-4 from beyond the arc, and delivered three emphatic slams. He also added three dimes. For the week, Emanuel shot at a 64.3 percent clip overall and went 5-10 (.500) from downtown. He averaged 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, and committed just four turnovers in 82 minutes during FDU’s 2-1 week.
