We played Cincinnati in the second round of the 2005 NCAA tournament and they were lead by Jason Maxiel and James “Flight” White

but the guy that absolutely shot UC out of the game down the stretch was Jihad Muhammad.

shout out to Pops Mensah Bonsu as well

Peter Jurkin is the first weird name that comes to mind.

A football name that comes to mind is Yancey Thigpen.
What was Jurkin’s parents thinking when they named him? Didn’t he play for IU? I would imagine that several tv/radio game callers had trouble keeping a straight face at times
