St. John’s in the top five? DePaul? Definitely not Notre Dame or Villanova.

 

Bing bing bing! St. John's is # 3. Notre Dame is # 11, Villanova is # 13.

1.
2.
3. St. John's
4. Georgetown
5.

 

Gonzaga?

 

St. Louis

 

St. Louis is No. 5.

3. St. John's
4. Georgetown
5. St. Louis.

I'd be surprised if anyone got #2.

 

Creighton?

 

I'll guess the obvious one and say Notre Dame?

For No. 2 ... Arizona State? I think they have 100,000 students. By sheer volume maybe they're on the list.

 

Arizona State is a Catholic school?

 

I believe MMSW picked DePaul. At one point they had an enrollment approaching 30,000. As an aside, my grade-school gym teacher, "pistol" Pete Coorlas, played for Ray Meyer from 1947-1949. The school where he taught, Brentano Elementary, included Knute Rockne as an alum.

 

Of course not. I was thinking of technicalities based off of Micro saying he'd be surprised if anyone got No. 2. Like, it wasn't a Catholic school but had a large number of Catholic students.

 

Dayton?

 

Like the old one (not sure if it was true) that LA was the fourth largest Canadian city. And Jack Kent Cooke, first owner of the Kings, famously said they all moved there because they hated hockey.
