COLLEGE
Munk played college basketball at USC during the 1986-87 season and stayed with the Trojans through 1989-90, competing in the Pac-10 under head coach George Raveling across four seasons.
Before he arrived on campus, Munk signed with USC as one of Raveling’s early recruiting additions, and he entered the program with national high school recognition that later roster summaries also listed him as a High School Parade All-American.
As a freshman in 1986-87, Munk appeared in USC’s rotation and averaged 4.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 0.1 assists per game on a team that went 9-19 in Raveling’s first season guiding the Trojans.
In 1987-88, Munk suited up as a sophomore on a USC team that finished 7-21 overall and 5-13 in Pac-10 play, and in 22 games with 19 starts he averaged 9.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game while shooting 78-for-136 from the field (57.4%) and 49-of-72 at the free-throw line (68.1%).
Across those 22 appearances in 1987-88, he totaled 205 points and 148 rebounds, added 6 assists, 9 steals, 17 blocks, and 62 turnovers, and he had an early-season scoring lift when he hit 6-of-8 shots and led USC with 15 points in a 68-40 win over Seattle University on December 3, 1987.
In 1988-89, USC finished 10-22 overall and 4-14 in Pac-10 play, and Munk played in all 32 games while starting 29, averaging 4.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game while shooting 58-for-132 from the field (43.9%) and 36-of-62 at the line (58.1%).
That junior season, he produced 152 total points and 184 total rebounds, and his box-score totals also included 11 assists, 15 steals, 22 blocks, and 90 turnovers while he worked primarily in the frontcourt alongside a roster led in scoring by Ronnie Coleman and Anthony Pendleton.
As a senior in 1989-90, USC improved to 12-16 overall and 5-13 in conference play, and Munk started all 28 games while averaging 8.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest in 31.8 minutes per game, shooting 77-for-174 from the field (44.3%) and 73-of-90 on free throws (81.1%).
Over those 28 games in 1989-90, he totaled 227 points and 226 rebounds, and he added 10 assists, 15 steals, and 34 blocks, with his season also overlapping the freshman year of Harold Miner and a Trojans backcourt that included Robert Pack, while Munk’s senior free-throw percentage ranked among USC’s best single-season marks for a high-volume foul-line shooter in the program record listings.
Across his four seasons at USC, Munk finished with year-by-year scoring jumps that peaked as a sophomore starter, then settled into a complementary junior role before he closed his career as a senior starter who matched his points and rebounds at 8.1 per game, and he graduated prior to 1995 after completing his eligibility from 1986-87 through 1989-90.
