Preseason Trivia

I’m going to take your hint it might be a surprise and guess the USF Dons given their history in the 1940-50s especially.

That's my guess, too.

It seems like the Zags are posed to pass several programs this year and may jump as high as 31 overall for program wins.


30 Arkansas ........... 1,688
31 Alabama ............ 1,675
32 Oklahoma .......... 1,674
33 Georgetown ....... 1,672
34 Missouri State .... 1,670
35 Bradley ............. 1,669
36 Oregon .............. 1,669
37 Gonzaga ............ 1,668

(note - these numbers cribbed from Wikipedia... I did not do any further searching to verify any of the numbers)

Didn't look at that. Definitely could see jumping everyone short of Arkansas on that list.

In case anyone didn't look it up, the answer was Temple. I've been watching college basketball for about 30 years now, and while they've always been decent, I would have been guessing for a long time before I got to them. Temple has been to 2 final fours, 1956 and 1958. My first 2 guesses would have been UCLA (7th) and Indiana (10th). Syracuse was 6th, but I think they were in 5th until a couple years ago when they vacated a bunch of wins. Thanks, it was fun seeing everyone's guesses.

I'm gonna guess Indiana... they used to be pretty good every year.

My unresearched guess as well.

I was going to guess the Arizona Wildcats; they won a lot of games when Lute Olson was the coach.
