Cagers Trivia 2..

And so, the trivia continues..

  • The first and original trophy sponsored by Tun Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Hamdan bin Sheikh Tahir, was given to MCKK to be kept as an honour for the team that had the most wins in 1990. Another trophy was later made for the championship also sponsored by him.
  • The Cagers home court, lies behind the East Wing of MCKK is also called MSG or Madison Square Garden.
  • Cager is a term frequently used for a professional basketball player. The word originated from early professional games (1910-1915) played in a cage to separate the audience from the playing court and speed up the game by keeping the ball in-bounds.
  • The last Cagers to enter the semi-finals before Cagers 04 was Cagers 95. 10 years not to go to semis..that's like.. hell!
  • 5 captains that had led the Cagers to 5 years of consecutive glory Syafiq Noh '04, Cepe or Amirul Hafidz '05, Aliff Abdul Muiz '06, Rahmat '07 and Mokri '08.
  • Winning the Final PHT earns any Cagers the College Colours tie. But that's not all about winning the trophy for the Cagers.
  • If there is an award throughout the whole 6 years of the Q4G project for the best Cagers ever, I'm sure the award will go to Alep for his best performance MCKK has ever seen.

In Trivia Part 1 (posted on May 8) you wrote: "The Cagers’ always have the shortest center in the tournament."

I think that's not always true. For example, Cagers '89 have 2 centers whose height are over 6 foot.
