	I always do this sort of thing by conference. I have to say trying to remember all 16 Big East teams is really annoying.

	@childenoland: The "highest scorer" refers to the player from that school with the highest NBA career point total, which is certainly O'Neal. It does not necessarily match up with having the career best for that particular university (for example, Paul Arizin is 15th on Villanova's career list, but tops in terms of NBA scoring).

	@Ryan, technically there's 17 Big East teams now

	I was surprised Isaih Thomas wasn't #1 for Indiana.

	Derrick Rose will be taking over Memphis' list in 2 seasons.

@yankee, did the same thing lol. i was actually surprised providence made the list at all. doesnt seem to fit with the other basketball schools. maybe im just too young to remember :)

	@RyanUR: I do these geographically, and based on the comments, it appears some people do it by thinking of players and where they went. It's interesting how some of us take very different approaches.

	Great quiz, surprised no Texas or Oklahoma.

	4uwbadgers:	Jun 18th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT	1 point
	@yankeesspurs101 Obviously you don't know much college basketball history. USF has 14 players with 1,000 NBA Points, besides Bill Russell there is HOFer KC Jones, Bill Cartwright, Quintin Dailey, Phil Smith and Jumpin' Joe Ellis to name the most prominent.

	@cocky: I was surprised Penny Hardaway wasn't number one for Memphis.

	that was a good quiz. at first i thought it was the college with the highest scoring player so the first college i typed in was providence because Marshawn Brooks. I went to a providence game and i got to play during half time, and that same game Brooks had 42, and then in the same season he had a 52 point game. He better be in the NBA

	Marshon* Brooks. My bad

	ambition:	Jun 19th, 2011 at 00:20 GMT	4 points
	RyanUR (and others): I typically do these quizzes by state. The downside with that is I tend to forget some non-state/city teams (Marquette, St. Johns, Clemson, Auburn, etc) and also on CBB quizzes I always forget Georgetown.

	ambition; Same here. I memorize the states in ABC order because i was forced to back in school.

	Where's the love for the friars. I'm a huge Providence fan and I am beaming that they are on the list. Can't wait to see Marshon drafted and becoming the next Kobe. Which reminds me, who else thinks that Marshon Brooks looks like Kobe when Kobe was first in the NBA?

	Well - look at Minnesota. Who knew? (Kevin McHale, probably.)

	perryghostnut:	Oct 13th, 2011 at 02:04 GMT	1 point
	When all else fails in a quiz like this, name Big East and ACC schools.

	Tony_A:	Oct 19th, 2011 at 23:28 GMT	1 point
	Maryland would have had 17 if not for Moses Malone going pro.

	i count 23 out of st johns....yet you dont have them....

	greekserb:	Mar 9th, 2012 at 01:23 GMT	-3 points
	Ever hear of "Pistol" Pete Maravich?? He is the all time leading scorer in NCAA history, he went to LSU, therefore, Shaq can't be right.

	amwoods13:	May 23rd, 2012 at 20:37 GMT	1 point
	@greekserb: As explained above, its the school's highest scorer in the NBA, not the highest scorer at the school.

	@Tony_A: 18 if Len Bias had survived draft night

	I'm surprised Minnesota was so high on the list. I only tried it because it's my home state.
