#KU50: 24 Greg Ostertag

One of my first basketball memories growing up was watching the Bulls and the Jazz in the NBA finals. This was before I became a Kansas fan so I didn’t gravitate towards Ostertag by any means, but after I found out he went to Kansas I remember thinking how cool it was he was on the floor with guys like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. I also always used to get him confused with Eric Montross but that’s for another day.

Before he was an average NBA big man, Ostertag was an exceptional college center. He was only a two-year starter for the Jayhawks, but he made those two years count big time.
