I'm guessing the 1987 team...but as I was only seven at the time, I can't speak to particular nicknames. Sorry.
That team DID include my all-time fav Hoya, Charles Smith.

One - the challenge is to name the players, not the year.
Two - no derisive nickname ever tops "the gay grinch."

I thought Bryant's was The Judge, for all those Tuesday nights at Winston's (corner of 33rd & M) judging the bikini contests.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.
Those three listed above were all much better players (at least basketball players) than the three I'm looking for.

I am shocked that no one has gotten this answer. Of course, the other distinct possibility is that no one is interested in this answer.
