This year there is one undefeated team entering the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. If they win it all, they can complete the first undefeated season since I was a senior in high school. Which brings us to our first set of quiz questions.

 

1. What’s the mascot for the currently undefeated NCAA hoops team?
2. What’s their more common nickname that begins with the letter “Z”?
3. What was the last undefeated Div. 1 NCAA Men’s Basketball team?
4. What’s their nickname, and who was their feisty coach?
5. What year did I graduate high school?

 

During the 1960’s and ’70’s there was a particular Men’s Div. 1 NCAA hoops team with a particular coach who completed FOUR perfect 30-0 seasons. Can you name the school, the coach, and their mascot?

And while we’re at it, there’s a Div. 1 Women’s hoops team with an even more amazingly dominant record – SIX perfect seasons ranging over three decades. Can you name the school, the coach, and their mascot? Hints below.

 

 

I know there is at least one college hoops geek out there who knows the answer to all of these questions. Is it you? Full details on perfect seasons here.
