Basketball trivia


A few stats/questions that you all may or may not find interesting. The winner gets free Barking Carnival views for as long as it's a free site.

  1. NBA: Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge sit third and fourth in NBA minutes played by a UT alum. Each has over 20,000 minutes. #5 is Johnny Moore (13,430), and #6 is TJ Ford (11,882). We have eight alums with over 10,000 minutes; 19 over 1,000 minutes. Who are the two UT alums with more NBA minutes than LaMarcus and Kevin?

  2. NBA: Penders coached UT from 1988-1997. Seven of his players went on to the NBA: Chris Mihm, Travis Mays, Lance Blanks, Dexter Cambridge, BJ Tyler, Terrence Rencher, Alvin Heggs. How many NBA players did UT have in the 50 years prior to Penders’ arrival?

  3. NBA: KD (14,851+) and LaMarcus (10,901) have the most points of any UT alums. 15 UT players have 1000+ NBA points. 11 of them played for Rick Barnes. Name the two UT players active in the NBA with the FEWEST points.

  4. NBA: Two UT alums finished their NBA careers with 2,302 rebounds. One is 7-0, the other 5-10. Who were they?

  5. NBA: Kevin Durant has 150 more assists than DJ Augustin. Neither has reached half the total of the assist-leader among UT alums. Who was that?

  6. UT: Name the head coach who recruited future NBA players Travis Mays and Lance Blanks to UT.

  7. UT: Looking at UT records, the top scoring freshman (in a game) mark is 37 points, accomplished five times (four by KD). The next-best is 34, accomplished three times (two by KD). Then it’s 32, accomplished four times (three by KD). Name the players other than KD who hit 37, 34, and 32 as freshmen.

  8. UT: the freshman mark for rebounds in a game is 23. Second-best is 17, accomplished four times, by three players. Name the three players who managed 23 or 17 rebounds as a freshman. Bonus—name the freshman who debuted with 13 rebounds, a UT best.

  9. UT: I suspect assists will be the most challenging. Of the top 10 freshman single-game performances, six were by TJ Ford, and two were DJ Augustin. Name the other two players in the top 10.

  10. UT: Rick Barnes has won 69.7% of his games (382-166) at UT. Penders was 65.4% (208-110). Jack Gray was the only other coach with 10+ seasons at UT, and he went 66.7% (194-97). Can you name the three coaches who managed to win better than 50% of their games after 1950?

  11. There is one legal jersey number that no Longhorn has ever chosen to wear. Can you guess it?

Be excellent to each other.
