Ah heck. I did all of that eliminating and I overlooked VCU. For some reason, I was thinking they were the Commodores. Most have conflated the C in VCU, Commonwealth - and somehow Commodores spat out of my brain as the school mascot.

I was just basing it off of a Bruin which I don’t think is a non-human mammal?
This is the correct answer. 2011.
Tar Heel is not a ram so UNC does not count.
@Kevin Bryan your turn to submit a question.
Which is just another reason California is so lame: UCLA and Cal with the same mascot.
Until a 2007 renovation, what was the biggest basketball only venue in the NCAA?
Haven't looked at the numbers recently, but I want to say the Tennessee Vols had the biggest basketball only venue.
If we go by the current conference affiliations, who was the last school before UNLV, outside of a Power 6 Conference (ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC), to win the national championship?
Think that was before the UTEP/UK "Glory Road" game I believe.
San Francisco and Loyola Chicago are close... but yes, UTEP (Texas Western) in 1966, is the correct answer. You're up!
I'm old, but not that old. But, when I was a kid I got a NCAA tourney coffee table type book that had a chapter for each year and I read that thing cover to cover. Used to be able to recite every winner of the tourney in chronological order. That was about 10,000 pounds of marijuana ago so now I'd be lucky if I can recite the 4 letters in NCAA, but man if this contest was back in the early 90s I'd even give @dukedevilz a run for his money.
Do you know how to use the internet other than this board? There's this thing called YouTube. Its pretty cool. I can teach you if you want, grab your readers.
Fvck I didn't want to be right I was just answering his specifically. Also couldn't remember their original name for he life of me. Just that dumb movie title.
I haven't been paying attention so hopefully this softball hasn't been asked. Who are the only two players to win multiple Naismith awards in their career?
Winner. The award was first given in 1969, where Kareem won. If it had been started earlier he likely joins the list with Walton and Sampson, both 3 time winners.
I get to hear all about it when I watch Pac-12 basketball. I know a lot of people can't stand listening to Walton... I love it. Highly entertaining.

Not sure why I didn't get this?
Also, my question was much better than DePauls....
To be fair, I can also recall all 81 National Champions in chronological order.

I'm up, but l'll defer the next question to you. I'll give you roughly 12 hours to post the next question.
Back to my question on page one. It was when our all time home winning streak ended. 129 games and the loss was to GT. Until that point, some have never seen or heard of UK losing at home in their entire life.
Someone we've never heard of. I looked it up because I knew I wouldn't guess correctly.
His name doesn't resonate with most people. He certainly doesn't carry the clout of a Wilt Chamberlain or a Bill Russell. But, he was kind of a big deal at one point. Final Four Most Outstanding Player, National Champion - and 5x NBA All-Star.
Looked him up. Haven't thought of the name in awhile but I've definitely heard of him. Good question.
Nope.
I could cheat but that would violate the rules.
I did cut down that cherry tree, dad.
