On January 12th 1992, Troy State University played a college game against DeVroy University, an NAIA team that typcially struggled to field competitive teams in its athletics. The game, while appearing to be a seemingly unremarkable college basketball contest, ended up setting and breaking a number of records, some of which remain unbroken to this day.
Do some simple research about this famous NCAA basketball game to get the cache coordinates. As is the case with some other sports themed mystery caches, this game is something interesting to me so I wanted to make a puzzle cache about it so others could learn something about it too. Hope you enjoy.
