3. I got 17 out of 20.
I got all the Georgia-specific ones except for where the Bulldogs play. I've only been to Athens once!

I missed the ones about high school basketball.

4. 10 out of 20
which isn't too bad for someone who has no clue about things like how many coaches there are, or what silly league the Bulldogs are in or anything as totally useless as the name of their coliseum. Of course, I expect someone attending that school ought to know. I also thought only 64 teams were in the National Championship tournament, got credit for the two diagrams even though I couldn't possibly do them (which means I really only would have gotten 8 correct).

And who cares how many fouls a player needs to get out of the game? And I could swear the high school basketball games I've attended lasted an awful lot longer than 32 minutes.

Tell me why this information is important?

6. I'm pretty sure that was the point
It's shocking to get COLLEGE CREDIT for knowing stuff that every basketball player already knows. Bear in mind, this was at the Univ. of Georgia, so the question was "What color are OUR uniforms"!!

The one I loved was "How many points do you get for a 3-point field goal." HAHAHAHAHAHA!

7. I scored 100 %
Here were some of the more amusing questions. Even if you had no clue about basketball, it wouldn't be too hard to answer these ones.

5) How many halves are in a college basketball game?
6) How many quarters are in a high school basketball game?
8) How many points does a 3-point field goal account for in a basketball game?

This was an embarrassing test. Surprisingly, nobody scored less than an A.

8. 19 out of 20!!! I got Georgia's home arena wrong.
It's Stegeman Coliseum.

Even though I'm a stadium/arena fanatic, I don't know much about college basketball arenas.

Missed the question about the length of high school basketball games. Considering I've never been to one, I think it's okay.
