While not as good as Peter Jurkin, I do remember a guy by the name of Matt Haryasz that played for Stanford. He got to the FT line pretty often and it was always hilarious because opposing fans would start chanting "Hairy ***" as soon as he stepped up to the line.

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
Rick Majerus on Jihad Mohammed " He wouldn't want to be behind me at a buffet and I wouldn't want to be behind him at an airport"
