Villanova's part-time home is the Comcast Center so it is accepted as well as Penn, which has the closest full-time home

Could you maybe change the colors... correct answers come up in a red color that's almost the same as the missed answers.

Great quiz otherwise... a lot tougher than the football one.

IUPUI must be pretty close. Isn't Butler only about five minutes away? Also, I got Oakland by guessing for Golden State. Lucky.

Great, great quiz. Add about 3 to 5 minutes to the timer and it's worth a nomination. 10 seconds per city isn't enough; Toronto alone requires a lot of mental geography.

st johns' home arena isn't madison square garden. they play conference games there but they have their own home arena on campus. if you are going to take penn and villanova because villanova plays only some games there then you should take the closest school besides st johns. i think it is either st francis or columbia. or don't take penn. it's your system. should keep it consistent

Might want to also accept UT San Antonio or just San Antonio instead of just UTSA.

Check it out: St. Peter's may actually be closer to Madison Square Garden than St. Francis. It's close!

TSU and now HBU (which is D1 now) are both closer to Toyota Center (home of the Rockets) than U of H is. U of H Downtown is right next to it, but they are only part of the UH system and have no affiliation with the Cougars

Georgia Tech is only playing at Philips Arena for one season while Alexander Memorial Coliseum is being refurbished. The GSU Sports Arena is a bit closer to Philips--I have degrees from both GT and GSU.

Very fun quiz. Much more challenging than the closest Div. 1A football team to NFL stadiums.

Very good quiz, Props to those of you getting niagara. Once it wasn't buffalo, I gave up on that one.

Will St. Francis also be the closest to the Brooklyn Nets, then?

You should probably update since the Nets moved to Brooklyn. I think that the closest school to the new Barclays center is LIU-Brooklyn, or just Long Island University. Other than that, a great quiz, just needs to be updated.
