While interest in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament around these parts might be at a nadir right now (NIT fever! Catch it!), when you’re inevitably discussion the intricacies of your bracket at the office later this week, it might help if you actually know where some of these schools are. Test your knowledge of colleges and universities you will likely forget the existence of by May with Mental Floss’ “Where Is That School?” quiz. Full disclosure: I was tripped up by Creighton and Loyola for a score of 82%, but I’m ok with that. I knew that Creighton’s in the middle there somewhere and that I think they have degrees available in Pet Grooming and TV/VCR Repair…that’s good enough for me.

I am so not doing a bracket this year.
Uh, Creighton is actually a well-respected Jesuit university (as are the Loyolas, for that matter). You need to pull your head out of wherever it is you’ve gotten it stuck, Gibson.
