Thanks for reacting to my suggestion!
Markquis Nowell was an incredible player in March Madness last year. Deep 3's and flashy passes all around.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS THE BEST SPORT TO WATCH. Change my mind🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
University of Nevada Las Vegas, good guess though
Lafayette Park is in Detroit if you meant that
There are satellite campuses for a number of the bigger colleges. They have the main campus's name but they, also, have the name of the city they are in as well. Purdue FW stands for Purdue Fort Wayne. They are known as the Mastodons.
…not the Gonzaga Watch Party lol
you asked if he missed that free throw on purpose, he 100% did. fairly common strategy
“This was a hoodie when we started” 😂 I laughed way to hard at that
There are over 360 division 1 college teams many a lot smaller than the ones that often make the tournament and get national attention. This compilation did an excellent job of showing some of them
I could not tell if you said Penn for the win or Penn State so I'll still clarify either way. That is the university of Penn not the university of Penn state they are very different in terms of the level of skill with Penn being an Ivy League school and Penn State being a big ten school.
Another great video, thank you! Again I woukd to love to see a reaction to the Nba's top 75 Players ultimate mixtape, the nba has an offical top 75 team and it is an offical highlight video that shows about 5 highlights from each player, ithink its a really cool mixtape and would love to see your reaction!
There is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and there is Lafayette College in Easton Pennsylvania. I think the highlight shown featured Lafayette College.
Wow Texas A&M – Commerce is where I’m currently enrolled in grad school. Did not expect to see them here
31:03 The reason that Bellarmine and N. Florida have numbers or 'rankings' next to them is because this is a game from their conference tournament leading up to March Madness. Each team is given a seed for their specific conference tourny. The clip right before, where Houston is #1 is from the regular season where they were ranked first in the standard weekly AP Poll. This can be confusing, but basically, if you see a little header above the score where it says something like "ASUN Championship" like in the Bellarmine clip, you can disregard those rankings because they're just for that specific conference tournament.
99.5% of these kids will never play pro ball. They'll be telling the story of these shots for the rest of their lives.
11:01 The heartache DePaul has given me over the years is too painful to describe. For a number of years they ruled Chicago. They were bigger than the Bulls, Bears, Cubs and White Sox.
Great video! Nice to see so many of the lesser known universities.
Any video you guys upload gets a thumbs up
Don't feel bad about not recognizing all these schools, especially by acronym; some are pretty obscure, as there's over 360 teams in division 1. That's also why there's so many buzzer beaters, there's just a ton of games with 30+ per team.
UNLV, you figured out .There isn't really a "North Las Vegas" because directly north of Las Vegas is Area 51, which you may have heard of — big secret government stuff happens there. Officially, happened there, but nobody believes that, given the government used to claim the place didn't exist. Anyway UNLV is pretty well known since winning the national championship in 1991.
SHSU — Sam Houston State U. Not well known.
UTRGV– U. Texas–Rio Grande Valley. Also little known.
FDU — Fairleigh Dickinson, good job!
You're right about Purdue, Purdue-Fort Worth is not the famous Purdue.
FGCU — Florida Gulf Coast. Also known as Dunk City, a nickname gained a few years back when they made the NCAA tournament as the 15th seed out of 16 in their region, then became the first 15 seed to win TWO games, making the Sweet 16.
UTEP — technically Texas–El Paso but nobody ever calls them anything but UTEP. They're fairly well known.
St Francis (PA) is in Pennsylvania, yes. The PA) is needed because there's also St Framcis Brooklyn in Div 1 (that's the SFBK in the very next clip, I see you compilation maker!) playing WAG (probably Wagner)
UNCA-North Carolina–Asheville. ETSU – East Tennessee State.
FAMU – Florida A&M.
SIUE — Southern Illinois U.–Evansville.
TCU — Texas Christian. (My phone suggests Texas Chainsaw. No.)
One that didn't come up: USC. Almost always refers to U. Southern California and not U. South Carolina unless it's a local broadcast in South Carolina as Southern California is a much more famous school. SC Upstate, however — which did show up in the video — is South Carolina.
Oh, and one that isn't an acronym but often confuses people: Northwestern University is not in the Northwest of the country but of Chicago. Which, to be fair, was in the region known as the Northwest Territory of the US back when it was founded in 1851.
Great reaction, boys. You want to know what's crazy about my Canes vs. FSU game. The FSU player that hit the game winner transfered and is now playing for the Canes. I can't believe I have to root for a former FSU player. GO CANES
11:00 "Sean DePaul" loool 😂😂
I've been watching you guys forever and I think 11:52 is the first instance of Central Michigan my Alma Mater coming up in a video! FIRE UP CHIPS!! 🔥⬆
8:50 The player that made that shot, those were his only two points of the game.
Sean DePaul is hilarious if anyone missed that joke 😂 I appreciate me a pun
I love how they both try to figure out some of the school names. It will be so far off yet it still makes since 😂😂😂😂
Some clarifications:
4:42 That's not Penn State, that's just Penn
12:25 UNLV IS University of Nevada, Las Vegas (you figured that out later) Don't try to logic out college school names or how they are abbreviated or their location, as there is no rhyme or reason to them half the time.
15:12 The vast majority of these are tiny schools, and the vast majority of those with bad records. And another chunk are from "pre season" tournaments. Hence the small crowds.
23:30 Talking about buzzer beaters; there are over 350 D1 teams who all play around 30 games a year, so not really that odd to have a bunch of buzzer beaters. Not all of these were even technically buzzer beaters as there was time on the clock after the shot.
4:32 That was actually just Penn (University of Pennsylvania), not Penn State (Pennsylvania State University) 😅 Two different schools
Surprisingly the two schools are not rivals- Penn is one of the private Ivy League unis like Harvard, Yale & Princeton & they are very prestigious academically- PSU is just a large public university. They don’t typically meet in college sports
There are so, so many different schools though, both big and small, and especially in basketball- More schools have basketball programs than football programs. Some confusion is understandable!
Yes, Princeton did knock out Arizona last season from the Tourney 😁 We Arizona State fans loved it lol
9:02 What makes it even more impressive is that the shooter isn't celebrating, almost like he's done it before.
UNLV stands for University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
14:13 Portland State.
SHSU is Sam Houston State University, UTRGV is University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
31:15 Houston is the #1 team in the Nation, like Football, College Basketball keeps track of the top 25 teams in the nation during the regular season. With how NCAA Basketball's Playoff System works, it's very possible most of the top 25 won't be in March Madness.
I love everything about this channel. You guys were hilarious with this one. ♣ Looking forward to watching the madness with you guys again.
The Ohio wasn't Ohio State and the Penn wasn't Penn State. They are both completely different universities.
Also, UNLV is University of Nevada-Las Vegas
Fairleigh in Fairleigh Dickenson is pronuounced as Fair, not Far. It is in central New Jersey.
St. Francis is a small private school in Pennsylvania. There is at least one more St. Francis in the US, but I forgot where it is–so they always put the PA after the Pennsylvania St. Francis.
LaSalle is in North Philly and has a strong past in basketball. Fordham is in the Bronx (NYC) and is kind of an Ivy, though not formally. It is pronounced "Fordem"–swallow that "h" as you Brits should well know for heaven's sake!!
They are playing American U (which is in DC) so I am pretty confident that the Lafayette you are seeing is Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.
UNLV–the "Runnin' Rebels" of University of Nevada Las Vegas.
UNLV is University of Nevada in Las Vegas. There's a University of Nevada that's in Reno. UNLV is a satalite school of the one in Reno. Another example of this is UTEP (University of Texas in El Paso). Same school as University of Texas, just branched off in El Paso.
UCLA did not win the championship last season, that was UConn
for context on why there are so many buzzer beaters/game winners, someone correct me if i’m wrong, but i believe there are 362 D1 basketball programs
another thing, lafayette is a place in louisiana, they have a louisiana university campus. but the lafayette you saw in this video is a college in pennsylvania
Sean DePaul lol
There are currently 351 D1 basketball schools so it's definitely hard to name all of them, even I don't know a majority. Many are satellite schools of state schools that make up these teams for example UC-Irvine or UC-Fullerton (University of California). A lot of them are only Division 1 in basketball while competing in 1-AA or Division 2 in other sports. I've linked a wiki full list below and it also shows the last time, if at all, these schools have made the NCAA Tournament in March. Enjoy!
