Although it is nice to get all of them right, the fact that I am only one of 61% says that the quiz should be shortened.

Why is this titled NBA Upsets?

Just like my NHL and MLB upsets, in cryptic or British style crossword cluing, words like "upset" indicate disorder, i.e., jumbling or anagramming of the letters. Thus, it makes a cute little double references, as upsets is already a sports term as well.

I figured out the words of the secret message after about two letters each time so it made the scrambles easier to decipher.

I got 10/21 and I'm not even a basketball fan.... Not too bad... And I knew Naismith thanks to hs gym class where we actually were tested on that stuff -- inventors of different sports, rules, terms, etc.... I didn't get that far though in the bonus.. I figured out basketball (obvious) and that made those scrambles much easier, but I didn't get enough to go on after that... great quiz :)

The instructions suggest you might also like to try...this quiz. It's self-referential.
