Pistol Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 We've got a giveaway for the trivia winner this week. Rules and details are in the (short) Twitter thread. It's a really nice hoodie, just runs too big for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Bumping this to give as many people a shot as possible (because not everyone sees Twitter when posted here). Answer this question correctly - or more right than anyone else - and you can win a free SLU Nike hoodie (size L, fits like an XL). Since the program’s inception, SLU men’s basketball players have come from 38 different states. Which 12 states have never produced a Billiken men’s basketball player? 1. Answer in a reply to this thread or on the Twitter/Instagram post. 2. If there is more than one winner, we will draw a name randomly. 3. Do not list more than 12 states. The most correct out of 12 wins. 4. Continental U.S. only. We will contact the winner for shipping details. 5. One entry per person across all platforms. 6. Trivia honor code applies. 7. Yes, we are aware of how absurd this question is. 8. We mean where a player is actually from. Prep schools don’t count. thetorch likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is: Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wyoming. It's only 11 - I goofed and included Georgia on my initial question but we had a player from there in the 80s. Latest NC player was K.C. Hankton. We had a guy (Roland Otto) from South Dakota in the 40s. We've had at least 3 players from Nebraska and I think Tony Manuel (1988-89) is the most recent.

I tied with another entry but lost in a runoff they had on this weeks pod. Yeah, @thetorch and another guy had all 11 in their answers. They both had South Dakota as the extra state, although I wonder if they'd have dropped that one or another if I had asked for 11 in the first place.

thetorch Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I just assumed both Dakotas. I may not have gotten it right with just 11. I didn't know about that Otto player. Pistol likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 My bad. I understood the question to be a state they were recruited from not born in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
