Hoop Hysteria grows from Towner's NCAA guide quest
Vance urged Towner to contact all 301 Division One athletics information directors to gather basketball media guides. They spent nights at Towner's home drafting 2000 trivia questions covering all schools. Hoop Hysteria aims broad appeal beyond Kansas, with five question levels and updates for shifting conferences. It sells at KU Bookstore for 24.95 with interest from University of Virginia and Wal-Mart, while autographs intrigue buyers. If successful, it could echo Trivial Pursuit for the 90s. if not, it remains a hopeful gamble.
