Interesting idea!

Level 88

Jan 19, 2022

Great idea, and more challenging than I thought it would be. You can probably remove Dixie St from Utah, since the Utah State Legislature voted back in November to change the university's name to Utah Technical University.

Level 24

Jan 19, 2022

a few comments

there were at least a couple of errors...you don't have loyola university chicago..no illinois in its name...also...you have richmond as richford

why does it automatically take wake for wake forest and austin for stephen f austin, but you have to type out boise state rather than boise and wichita state rather than just wichita..another is when you do the auto fill for stephen f austin by accepting just austin, why doesn't it work for austin peay?

Level 89

Jan 19, 2022

Yeah, I skipped a few because of that. No colleges with the name of the state, but the word state is required as part of the name.

Level 73

Mar 30, 2022

That explains why I couldn't get Richmond to work. It was the first answer I type for Virginia.

Level 65

Jan 19, 2022

Good quiz but there’s some issues. Richmond is spelled wrong on your answers and isn’t accepted. Loyola Chicago and Loyola Maryland aren’t accepted but should be.

Level 84

Jan 19, 2022

I could be wrong here, but I think "Loyola Maryland" might actually include the name of the state it's in.....

Level 84

Jan 19, 2022

Did you mean "Loyola Marymount"??

Level 51

Mar 31, 2022

there is a loyola maryland

Level ∞

Jan 19, 2022

Added Loyola Chicago and fixed the Richmond issue.

Level 65

Jan 19, 2022

Good quiz but there’s some issues. Richmond is spelled wrong on your answers and isn’t accepted for Virginia. Loyola Chicago isn’t accepted but should be. Your missing a couple in California too (San Diego university and San Francisco university)

Level ∞

Jan 19, 2022

Fixed.

Level 85

Feb 22, 2022

I don't think the Richmond issue is actually fixed yet.

Level 70

Jan 19, 2022

Dang! I always forget that Iowa school. It's got me in my feelings.

Level 81

Jan 19, 2022

You only take BYU for Brigham Young? And please - fix Richmond.

Level ∞

Jan 19, 2022

Brigham Young will work now, thanks.

Level 73

Jan 19, 2022

You may want to add the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. They transitioned from Division 3 to Division 1 this academic year and play in the Summit League conference.

Level ∞

Jan 19, 2022

Will add that in the next update. Don't want to reset the stats.

Level 70

Jan 19, 2022

Great quiz idea!

Level 69

Jan 20, 2022

Kept trying random city names for Arizona... and I got my Bachelors from Grand Canyon... face palm.

Level 82

Jan 20, 2022

How about Washington, DC? Georgetown, AU, and Howard but not GW.

Edit: To be clear, I know DC is not a “state.” Yet.

Level 24

Jan 31, 2022

no unlv for nevada

Level 57

Feb 1, 2022

university of NEVADA las vegas

Level 72

Mar 16, 2022

Santa Clara is missing from California

Level 57

Mar 25, 2022

University of California: Santa Clara

Level 57

Mar 28, 2022

Excuse me, I am very wrong. Santa Clara is different from Santa Barbara. I accidentally said UCSC, not UCSB.

Level 66

Mar 30, 2022

Didn't get a single one.

Level 67

Mar 30, 2022

why is not UCLA listed in california?

Level 50

Mar 30, 2022

It's the University of California, Los Angeles.

Level 50

Mar 30, 2022

I see earlier comments on this, but 'Richford' should be 'Richmond'. Thanks for this!

Level ∞

Mar 30, 2022

Level 65

Mar 30, 2022

Savannah state should be accepted for Georgia

Level 74

Mar 30, 2022

They are in Division II.

Level 68

Mar 30, 2022

Omaha Mavericks?

Level 74

Mar 30, 2022

University of NEBRASKA Omaha?

Level 74

Mar 30, 2022

Stony Brook should not be accepted, as it has "New York" in the name; it's not any different than Buffalo or any other part of the SUNY system.

Level 77

Mar 30, 2022

Pretty sure this quiz is using the common names for these schools--none of which use their full name. That would eliminate too many answers.

Level 74

Mar 30, 2022

Hmm? Which other answer would be eliminated? Not including the state name is the entire premise of the quiz.

Level 60

Mar 30, 2022

I liked this a lot. Anyone have anything somewhat similar?

Level 77

Mar 30, 2022

You're missing Buffalo from New York (commonly referred to as "UB").

Level 74

Mar 30, 2022

You mean the State University of New York at Buffalo?

Level 49

Mar 31, 2022

You forgot to include: Long Beach State (California) Chattanooga (Tennessee) Buffalo (New York)

Level 74

Apr 3, 2022

Are you referring to California State University, Long Beach, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and the State University of New York at Buffalo, all of which don't belong on this quiz and were certainly not "forgotten?"

Level 67

Apr 3, 2022

Argh... thought of last one needed for 37 with about a second left, but didn't even have time to hit the first key with it. :-(

Level 43

Aug 18, 2022

You should add in Minnesota, St. Thomas has recently gone d1

Level 73

Jan 8, 2023

This is a great quiz and I enjoyed it. I scored 23, but I was typing Notre Dame when my time ran out.

Level 42

Mar 5, 2023

Dang it, got all but Maryland, 36/37. Great quiz!

Level 73

May 3, 2023

Green Bay missing from Wisconsin

Level 74

Sep 26, 2023

Do you mean University of Wisconsin--Green Bay?

Level 61

Nov 27, 2023

Fresno State represents CSU Fresno, but it's still in because its sports teams are known as Fresno State. I don't see how this is any different from Buffalo or Chattanooga. The college is University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, but the team is just known as Chattanooga.

Level 71

Dec 3, 2023

A lot of updates have to be done. Dixie State became Utah Tech and is now ineligible for this quiz. Minnesota (the state, not the university) should be added because St. Thomas has joined D-I. St. Francis (New York) has dropped its athletics. Please reflect these changes in the quiz.

Level 50

Mar 27, 2024

If I’m totally honest, I got 34 by guessing random teams I could think off from the past couple of years of march madness and random teams I just knew for no reason. Definitely a lot of deleting answers because I have no idea where the colleges are, but I made it good enough.
