You’ve printed your bracket. You’ve decided which 12 seed will upset which 5 seed. You’ve even started fake coughing to make it seem slightly more plausible when you call in sick on Thursday. While you’re waiting for the tip-off of the play-in game, let’s see if you can figure out where these 12 tourney-bound schools are located.
Take the Quiz: Where Is That School?
Good to see my alma mater Morehead State in the tournament, and in a mental floss quiz!!

do people really not know where Clemson is? I guess I just always thought it was a bigger school than it is…

Erin — So far, 87% of people know right where Clemson is. I was expecting Creighton and St. Mary’s to make the tournament, so when they didn’t, I had to scramble for two more schools that had names that didn’t give away their locations (Cleveland State, etc.) Temple and Clemson were substituted at the last minute.

12 for 12. Probably helps that I am a college basketball junkie and have lived in several different states.
