353 teams play Men’s Basketball in Division I.  Years ago, I named about 90 percent of the schools and the conference they are in off the top my head.  That’s not just naming the conference given the school name.  I named the schools off the top of my head.  Teams move conferences, and I didn’t expect to be able to do that well today.  I missed 35 teams, so I got 90.1 percent.  I needed one more team in the Horizon League, Patriot League, or West Coast Conference to reach 90 percent.  I though I was missing a team in California with a C name.  I know there is the Monterey-Salinas-Santz Cruz radio market.  Santa Cruz is not in a Division I school name, I already named California-Santa Barbara, and I realized I needed Santa Clara.  I checked what Horizon League school I missed, and I was disappointed I didn’t name Illinois-Chicago.  I named Chicago State and didn’t think about another school having Chicago in its name.  Repeatedly I have been unable to remember Bucknell, who is in the Patriot League.  Once Santa Clara got me over 90 percent, I didn’t try to name a few more.  I named every team in 21 out of 32 conferences and missed 1 team in 4 conferences.
