	From 1939 to 1950, the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament only had eight teams, so there was no "sweet sixteen." Since 1951, the tournament has had at least sixteen teams, so that is the time period considered for this quiz.

	The quiz would have more meaning if you shortened the window of years. Right now it is basically name every school you can think of without knowing whether or not they have made the sweet 16. There are 171 schools in this quiz and there are 346 division 1 basketball teams...that's only 2 short of being half.

	@statfreak: I considered doing that, but I've seen those quizzes on Sporcle before (e.g. "Sweet 16 Teams since 2000"). I thought it might be interesting to have one with all the teams.

	statfreak:	Feb 10th, 2011 at 04:15 GMT	1 point
	Well you did do a nice job on this quiz. It just isn't my cup of tea, but I guess that what makes Sporcle great because we can all do whatever we want.

	got 118 of them...VERY disappointed in a few that I missed!

	mdobb21:	Feb 10th, 2011 at 05:11 GMT	1 point
	if the directions say since 1953, you probably shouldn't include the ones from before then (montana st, san jose st)

	@mdobb21: Ack, thank you for bringing that to my attention. Fixed.

	I like this quiz a lot but I would order it by number of appearances rather than alphabetically. Alphabetically makes it too easy to get one thatn you really don't know.
