Greetings Infomaniacs,

I’ve never been a huge follower of the NCAA March Madness
college basketball tournaments, but I know that many people
really get into it. Therefore, I thought I would include
some college basketball facts for your enjoyment. Now you
can impress your friends the next time you’re watching a
game together!

Enjoy!
Melissa

                    TODAY’S MYSTERY QUOTE

QUOTE: “You can’t get much done in life if you only work on
the days when you feel good.”

HINT: (1938-), retired American basketball player who played
his entire professional career for the Los Angeles Lakers.

                        RANDOM TIDBITS

The first men’s college basketball game was played on
January 18, 1896 between the University of Iowa and the
University of Chicago. The final score? 15-12!

                             ***

The first women’s college basketball game was played on
April 4, 1896 in San Francisco between Stanford and Cal.
Stanford won the game 2-1, which was played with much
different rules from modern basketball. There were nine
players on each side and players could only play in certain
areas of the court. Women weren’t allowed to steal the ball
from each other because it was considered “unladylike” and
they had to wear clothes that covered every part of their
body except their hands and face!

                             ***

The first NCAA college basketball tournament, which is now
 known as March Madness, was played in 1939.

In 1913, the bottom of the basketball net was left open for
the first time. This meant that it was no longer necessary
to retrieve the ball from the net once a basket was scored.

                             ***

In 1920, the backboards were moved two feet from the wall
of the court. Before this rule change, players would
“climb” the padded wall to sink baskets.

                             ***

In 1967, the slam dunk was made illegal, but the much-loved
dunk was made legal again in 1976. In 1986, the three-point
field goal was introduced with the three-point line set at
19 feet, 9 inches from the center of the basket.
