In the midst of the nonconference college basketball schedule, it’s time to learn about some of the lesser-known programs that have made a trip to the area: » Georgetown’s opponent Monday night can be referred to as “Ooey-Pooey” or it’s binomial nomenclature of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
» Florida Gulf Coast is not only a vacation destination, but a university Maryland defeated by a mere six points Friday.
» Great Danes are the largest breed of dog and also the mascot of Albany — George Mason’s last opponent.
» Austin Peay State University — which lost to George Washington last week — is located in Clarksville, Tenn., but competes in the Ohio Valley Conference.
» American defeated the top rebounding team in the country last week — the Quinnipiac Bobcats.
