#133/341 - Lipscomb Bisons

Another strange find from the state of Tennessee. This was another lucky eBay find that is both recent and well fitting. Lipscomb is a recent addition to Division 1 and is part of one of the closest geographical rivalries in college basketball. Belmont is located less than 2 miles from their campus and they compete against one another in the Battle of the Boulevard.

#132/341 - Xavier Musketeers

Another non-ebay pickup from a found clearance sale. The first and last school that starts with the letter "X" and helps to fill out the state of Ohio, with its 13 D1 schools. Xavier has gotten very close to the Final Four but not quite there with 5 Sweet 16 and 2 Elite 8 appearance in the last 10 years.

#131/341 - Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks

This jersey was long overdue principally because it is the only located within an hour's drive of my own backyard. It is then, only fitting, that this jersey came from the result of generosity. For a 2nd time I emailed UMES and this time they were gracious enough to send me a beautiful basketball jersey. With that UMES joins the ranks of Indiana State, Gardner-Webb, and Montana State as being kind enough to donate to the JerseyQuest project, and in return, received a donation to the school from me in their honor.

Thank you UMES.

#130/341 - Tennessee Martin Skyhawks

It seems to be getting rarer and rarer where I find an obscure school's jersey that is the right size and modern. This is one of those rare times. I'm getting closer to having the state of Tennessee complete with is bizarre because they have a surprising 12 teams and most of them are obscure.

#129/341 - Indiana State Sycamores

This is a very important jersey to the collection. It marks the end of the first season from the start of Jersey Quest. At the end of the season I restarted the process of emailing universities asking for aid in my quest. This year Indiana State was the first to unequivocally give me a jersey. For their act of kindness, they join the ranks of Gardner-Webb & Montana State for their memorable generosity.

It's also important because the Indiana State Sycamores were especially challenging for having an incredibly famous alum. I legitimately could not track down a single basketball jersey of their that wasn't Larry Bird.

So to Indiana State University I owe a profound 'thank you.'

#128/341 - Samford Bulldogs

This jersey is the perfect storm of finding bad things. It doesn't fit, it's out of date, and it was cheap. So I can say I have a Samford Bulldogs jersey but it needs to be replaced.

#127/341 - Montana Grizzlies

How long ago was it that Montana State University were kind enough to send me a jersey? This obscure ebay find means I can now complete the state. The Grizz have been to the NCAA Tournament in 3 of the last 5 years and pulled off a 12/5 upset back in 2006.

States #6/50 - State of Montana

It's hard to decide how to count the states due to Alaska not having a D1 team. For the sake of round numbers I'm going to count them like you would a free space on a bingo sheet. So as of now I have Alaska, Minnesota, Nevada, Oklahoma, Kansas, and now Montana complete.

Conferences #1/33 - The Big 12

The addition of the Baylor Bears completed the Big 12, but somehow I hadn't noticed this. This meant arranging them nicely for a photo and buying a cheap case from Wal-Mart to store them together. This is pleasure only a completionist can know.

Reflecting on the 10 jerseys, I'm pretty happy with all of them. Kansas is a little vintage but it's a classic look. Given the chance I would only replace TCU as it doesn't fit that well. Overall, it's a nice completed set.
