Jeopardy! contestants blank on Arizona basketball despite Wildcats clues

Feb 23, 2022, 7:29 PM

We’ve all tried to act as if we could bring home some cash on Jeopardy!

And after not having the slightest clue a few questions in, that’s when we’ll throw in the towel and leave it to the professionals.

But when contestants can’t answer a sports question that’s common knowledge to us, that’s when we leap out of our seats (insert Leo DiCaprio pointing at screen meme).

Alright then Arizona Wildcats basketball fans, let’s see if you can get this layup:

“As an NBA analyst, I like to see my fellow Wildcats from this school,” Arizona alumnus Richard Jefferson said for the $800 question’s clues.

“Like (Phoenix Suns center) Deandre Ayton and Andre Iguodala, and before my time, future congressman Morris Udall. He had a glass eye, but a wicked one-handed shot.”

Only one contestant threw a guess at it, but unfortunately for her, Kentucky was the wrong Wildcats school.

Who else is feeling confident after being able to answer an $800 Jeopardy! question?
