The national champion in college basketball and college hockey have never come from the same state in the same year.  Bring it home RED!

Don't forget that St. Johns won the N.I.T.

That's a great thought, but you obviously don't have the free time that I do:  Look up 1977.

Wisconsin in hockey and the Cinderella Marquette team.  Good work.

I actually did do my research but for some reason, I thought Marquette University was in Michigan.  So, I'll revise the statement to say NIT winner, NCAA basketball champion and NCAA hockey champion.  Thanks for the correction.

Ah-hahaha, yes... Northern Michigan University is in Marquette, MI, so your confusion is, somewhat, excusable.  :-)

Quick: name the three Division I hockey schools in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the cities in which they're located.

Here's another one (to which I don't know the answer offhand): how many Division I schools are above/below the 42nd parallel (the long part of the NY/Pennsylvania border)?

Hmm, for the first one, is it....

Michigan Tech, Houghton, MI

Lake Superior, Sault Ste. Marie, MI

Northern Michigan, Marquette, MI

?

[jtwcornell91]

Yep, MTU, LSSU, and NMU it is.  For some reason the fact that there are three D1 programs in the UP gives me a giddy feeling about College Hockey.
