  • 2024 March Madness Triva

    What U.S. State has never sent a team to the big dance?*

    If you have to google, that's cheating!

    Alaska?

        Alaska doesn't have a D1 program.

        I don't think Maine has ever made the tournament, but I'm not 100 on that. And I believe they're the only D1 program in the state. (Location of some Ivy's still get me)

        Those are the only two options that make sense in my head.

          We have a winner!!!!

          The state of Maine is the only one in the contiguous United States to have never experienced the madness of March. The University of Maine has been playing basketball for the entire history of the NCAA tournament (and 19 years before that) without ever making the big dance. The Black Bears haven’t won a conference tournament game since 2005 and recently completed their worst season in more than 50 years.

              So Alaska is also correct as the question did not say contiguous United States.

                  Well if we are going to get technical none of the 50 states have sent a team to the Big Dance. Team USA has been to the Olympics. But as far as I know there are no Team (enter name of state) teams competing in the Big Dance.

                    # 2 - They are approximately 30+ (D1 NCAA Schools) who have never made the NCAA Big Dance.
                    Army Incarnate Word Purdue Fort Wayne UC Riverside
                    Bethune-Cookman Kansas City Quinnipiac UMass Lowell
                    Central Arkansas Maine Sacramento State USC Upstate
                    Chicago State Maryland Eastern Shore Sacred Heart UT Martin
                    Denver New Hampsire South Dakota Utah Valley
                    Elon NJIT St. Francis Brooklyn UTRGV
                    Grambling Omaha Stetson William & Mary
                    High Point Presbyterian The Citadel Youngstown State

                    Question: Amongst this group, who are the only schools to ever beat the Shockers?

                    Bonus: What is Wichita's State's Overall record against that group? (open book on Bonus part).

                        Maybe just those 2.......

                        I have 31-4 record but I won't swear to it.

                        Also not sure if you can count a win over Pan American (eventually UTRGV).
