Best IUBB Jersey Number ever?

Recommended Posts

I've always liked #42 for Scottie May but before May, that number was worn by John Ritter from Goshen, IN.  John was a 6' 5" forward and played from 1970-1971 through the 1972-1973 seasons - freshman ineligible at that time.  John came to the program when Lou Watson was still coaching and was a part of the McGinnis & Downing recruiting class.   The General became head coach the following year.  On Dec. 18, 1971, Notre Dame came to Bloomington for the Assembly Hall dedication game.  IU won that game 94-29.  John Ritter scored 31 points singlehandedly outscoring the entire ND team coached by first year coach Digger Phelps!

 

PS:  Mike Woodson wasn't too bad either was he?

     Like the Post Script. Because of that 42 is mine also.

  #11 has been worn by a few really good to great guards.
