Last Wednesday the Washington Generals, (ya know, that team that always loses to the Harlem Globetrotters?) signed Willie Veasley, Avery Jukes and Nick Rodgers, three members of the Butler Bulldogs, to one-day contracts to play with them as the Generals and Globetrotters faced off at Conseco Fieldhouse.
The Generals were hoping to turn around their losing ways by enlisting some players that have experience being successful as underdogs.
The three played about five minutes each and made one shot and two free throws combined as the Generals would go on to lose the game 71-50.
As many players on the Globetrotters once played in college, ESPN.com's Page 2 column compiled a list of schools that have produced the most of these basketball standouts.
And a little bit of OVC trivia for you, the school with the most is Tennessee State with 13.
