As a native of the state, it never ceases to amaze me how often Missouri sports teams are forgotten on these quizzes.

I generally like the bonuses, except when I'm running out of time, and am trying to put in something like Georgia Tech, only to have it fill in Georgia - causing me to have to start over.

USC is nowhere to be found on this list but they do top the list of having players most deleterious to a University's sports program to be taken in the first round.

I really wanna punch myself in the face for missing the college with the 2nd most first round picks. Guess I have my UConn blinders on.

Now that the top picks are "one and done" at college, does this even matter anymore? Although I appreciate the trivia. Look for this to be turned upside-down in the near future, as colleges with less emphasis on academics (I'm lookin' at you, Florida State) grab guys for one year. College basketball as we knew it ten years ago is done.

@disseminator: St. John's basketball hasn't been relevant for twenty years and is far more difficult to guess by using the popular "Guess states and states followed by State" method. I am quite surprised that it's still more guessed than Missouri.

i really can't believe depaul has fallen off so much...hopefully that program gets turned around sooner than later. this quiz shows that there's more tradition there than i realized...

Alabama: Robert Horry, Latrell Sprewell, Gerald Wallace, Roy Rogers, Derrick McKey, Antonio McDyess, and some others that didn't pan out. Bama has had some basketball stars, just not solid teams.

I missed Syracuse AND Arizona ... yet I still finished in the 99th percentile. I'm shocked people aren't getting higher scores on this. 31 out of 35 shouldn't be 99th percentile.

I'm also a native Missourian and I knew they'd be on here, only because they've had so many NBA busts and underachievers. Kareem Rush, Keyon Dooling, Linas Kleiza, Anthony Peeler, Doug Smith, Derrick Chievous, Demarre Carroll, Jon Sunvold, Steve Stipanovich, Larry Drew ... I'm forgetting one. It's amazing how many first rounders they've produced without a single player becoming an All-Star.

I didn't read the source list and thought this was a quiz about football. Was very confused why USC wasn't on there! It would be good to put NBA or basketball somewhere in the title.

I know it's not there in the title, but a glance at the reference should clue you in to the fact that this is basketball.

The Usual Suspects. (Also, @ClintT13: Larry Drew was no slouch and except for maybe Stipanovich, none of these guys projected as an AllStar IMO. Just looked Stipanovich up. Career ended @ 27 by knee injury.)

Only missed Memphis. I guess I forgot about them because of all the seasons they had to vacate due to Calipari's cheating.
