It’s time for the Final Four and that means it’s time for the University of Miami Basketball trivia. In fact, this week on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida, we will do trivia from each of the four schools left in the NCAA Tournament so study up. For those of you who are new to the show, we test Pete’s trivia (and trivial) knowledge during Wiki-Pete-ia every weekday at 4:45ish for prizes. Just be lucky caller number 9 at 239-337-ESPN. That’s 239-337-3776. If you are not lucky enough to get through, then play at home or at work with your friends with the questions and answers posted below!

What a crazy month of March this has been in the world of college basketball. Brackets are worthless. Many of you destroyed them a week ago with all of the upsets. If you are still alive in your work-pool, then kudos to you. You are either very smart or very lucky. This is the first time since 1979 no seed better than a 4 seed has made the Final Four. And three of the four remaining teams have never been to the Final Four. How about that!?

Congrats to Miami, FAU, San Diego State, and UConn!
