Utah State guard Pooh Williams got a little embarrassed when asked about his unusual name. The product of Federal Way, Wash., is formally known as Earnest, but even his mother doesn't call him that.
"I had caramel skin color and was real, real fat," Williams said, when pressed for an explanation on Thursday. "She used to call me her pooh bear and it stuck with me and a lot of guys teased me about it."
Williams has averaged 8.8 points for the Aggies this season.
