I'm assuming this is for college MENs basketball and it should be noted if so. Considering Pat Summitt has 1098 wins just on her own, Im guessing the list would look different for women's basketball or if women's basketball were included.

forgot to do Illinois and I am shocked no one remembers Cincinnati and Temple ;) I got those two at the start along with the other obvious ones. Also shocked that UCLA doesn't have more wins

I guessed so, too, but it was only founded in 1957, so a lot of other schools had a head start.

My husband was standing behind me saying, "Syracuse!" and I told him I'd already typed it, but apparently I misspelled it or something. Without his help I would never have gotten Temple or Louisville, and I can't believe we both forgot Duke and Villanova.

I won the NCAA bracket thing my 6th grade teacher sponsored. I got a huge bag of peanut M&Ms for my prize. I was told not to share them with anyone. I gave in to peer pressure and did. Bag of M&Ms taken away... :-/

Your teacher told you not to share??? That was a terrible thing to teach a child, and taking away your prize was just plain mean. A college sports bracket seems a strange thing for a class project anyway.

My 6th grade teacher was indeed very weird. But.. I can understand the admonishment against sharing he didn't want it creating a class disruption which of course it did.

incidentally he was a big Syracuse fan. That was the first one (and one of the few) I got.

and pretty sure Duke won that year and got me the victory. That's the 2nd one I got.

Something similar happened to me.

I won a game of Sharks and Minnows in fifth grade, and the prize was a berry cobbler (I kid you not). The staff, fearing that I would give it away, made me accept and eat it in the lounge.

"Penn" is accepted. It's not practical to include every nickname for each school.
