I'm still trying to figure out why so many people say "Dew-CORE-ay" (including Coach), despite the media guide's pronunciation guide ("do-CORE")

I have no problem with Thiam.

But I must confess that it took almost two full seasons before I was able to correctly enunciate ‘Omoruyi’. For some reason that name was like a tongue twister for me.

Did you hear the PA announcer during player intros at the B1G tournament? He finally got EO's name right by the 3rd round, but it's funny watching the playback as he goes from butchering it in the Minnesota game, improvement in the Indiana game and finally getting it right in the Purdue game.

The weird thing is Omoruyi is pretty much how you would think it should be said but it took me a bit
