	Oh St Johns, how far you have fallen.

	GeoExpert:	Jun 25th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT	2 points
	St Johns... surprising. And only 5% have gotten WKU so far? Am looking more forward to football quiz than this basketball quiz. That one should be fun.

	Kevin:	Jun 25th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT	18 points
	Tank, I'd be impressed if anybody watched the draft last night, given how it starts in a couple hours. Oh, and THE Ohio State University? Really Sporcle? Really?

	@Kevin - Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if I forgot to wake up yesterday.

	Very surprising not to see either Georgetown or Oklahoma.

	Sometimes I don't know why I sporcle at all when my spelling is so poor... I missed the P school in IN, by spelling it with 2 e's not 2 u's. I was surprised at no Georgetown as well.

	bsd987:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:35 GMT	-1 points
	Wow, as an SEC fan, I believe South Carolina to be the real USC, so without even thinking I typed in USC. Not saying it should count, just pointing out how I've brainwashed myself that even on sporcle I think of South Carolina as USC.

	Babomomebeo:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:37 GMT	-1 points
	Yeah, I think USC should count for Southern Cal and South Carolina. They're both referred to that way.

	biggity:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:38 GMT	0 points
	This isn't correct. Georgetown has had 40 players drafted by NBA teams. Where are you pulling these stats from? Here is the links showing Gtown has had 40. http://statsheet.com/mcb/teams/georgetown/nba_draft If you go to another team, say Arizona, the numbers are off as well.

	kvoss9:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:38 GMT	1 point
	THE ohio state? what a joke of a school!

	Ben:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:39 GMT	5 points
	For those wondering about Georgetown the # is at 22 currently, and Wake Forest is at 21

	biggity:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:42 GMT	-1 points
	Where are you pulling these stats from, it looks like you are taking from a certain date onwards.

	Brooklyn_Girl:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:43 GMT	0 points
	So, I think I'm way too excited my alma mater is on the list... Go Red Storm. I wonder how they fell to the bottom of the big east.

	biggity:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:43 GMT	0 points
	Here is Wake with 36, not 21. http://statsheet.com/mcb/teams/wake-forest/nba_draft

	MRD:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:47 GMT	-2 points
	Yeah NC STATE! It's cool going to a school that's produced so many good players...now if only we could get some of them now so we can at least MAKE the tourney. This coming year looks more promising than the last few at least.

	RandallPinkston:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:50 GMT	2 points
	@biggity: It looks like this quiz is counting players that played at least one game in the NBA, so players that were drafted but did not make it to the NBA wouldn't count. On the flip side, players that went undrafted but did play in the NBA would count. Is that right, Ben?

	Ben:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:52 GMT	5 points
	Russell is correct... it only takes into account players that played at least one game for an NBA team... it took me a long time to make this list... basketball-reference.com is the source and it is for every year the NBA has been in existance

	biggity:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:54 GMT	2 points
	Fair enough - but here is a list of Georgetown players that have played at least one game, the numbers is 36. http://basketballreference.com/players/bycollege.htm?sch=Georgetown+University The only reason I harp on G'town is because it is the easiest to search, I am sure there are more.

	bmo1616:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT	-1 points
	THE Ohio State University, what a joke, I wonder what bowl game they'll get blown out in this year. And Go Huskies!

	Wildcat612:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:58 GMT	5 points
	Your reasoning for only accepting "The Ohio State University" is flawed. You say you make us write "The Ohio State University" that way b/c that's the name, but you only require us to write "UCLA," "UNC," "Nova," or "Michigan St" for other schools, which are abbreviations to their names just as "Ohio State" is an abbreviation for the official name of the school. Moreover, you accept at least one abbreviation for OSU, "The Ohio St," but not the most common one, "Ohio State." That's senseless.

	biggity:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 00:59 GMT	3 points
	Similarly here is Kansas at 54, not 41 as per the quiz. Using the basketball reference source you used: http://basketballreference.com/players/bycollege.htm?sch=University+of+Kansas

	RandallPinkston:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:01 GMT	4 points
	@ Evan: I tried "Ohio State" and it triggered a response as soon as it got to "Ohio St".

	Wildcat612:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:06 GMT	0 points
	@ Russell: Yes, but if you are typing fast and get "Ohio State" out before it accepts "Ohio St," it won't take it.

	RandallPinkston:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:07 GMT	2 points
	@biggity: I just checked out the link you posted for Kansas, and that page counts players that played in either the NBA or the ABA (or both). Pierce Russell, for example, appears to have only played in the ABA but not in the NBA, so he's counted on the page you linked to, but not for Ben's quiz.

	Sal_Paradise:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:11 GMT	4 points
	I love that I got South Carolina (which I never would have gotten normally) just by being lazy and typing USC.

	Haunter:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:13 GMT	1 point
	No Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State...not one school from either state?

	biggity:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:16 GMT	2 points
	@Russell - first, thanks for taking the time to clear all this up. But going through Kansas list, there are only 4 player that only played in the ABA, the remaining 50 started games in the NBA at some point, which creates a discrepancy of 9 players from the quiz above. The Georgetown point still remains as well. Who are those 21 players Ben mentioned in a previous post?

	j66:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:17 GMT	-1 points
	All but WKU. Outside of Kansas, Big 12 doesn't have much basketball history. OU and OSU have some as does KSU but not much.

	squid_pro_quo:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 01:20 GMT	2 points
	Fun quiz - and I ended up missing my own alma mater! Never followed basketball much. Do one for colleges that have produced the most NFL players too!
