Boubacar Aw. Key player on a team that won the regular season outright, I think it was 96-97.

The first name that leaps to mind is Eric Smith. Hard to call him under appreciated but he was just so good at so many things. The moment which sums him up best, painful as it may be is that he chased Worthy down and fouled him after Fred’s pass. He never lost his head and while Sleepy’s desperation heave was short but for Smith we never even get that shot off. I believe Eric was an all-Met quaterback at Churchill HS. Great athlete.
He still comes to Hoya games.
He also was the punter on Hoya's football team an even had a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys as a punter if memory serves me correctly. A smart player, great basketball IQ. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1982/03/14/eric-smith-one-of-the-hoyas-experiential-differentials/535ca8d5-d33f-4ecf-9e7b-ec5a76ec08ed/
