Proving that fact is often times stranger than fiction, I give you the professional landing spots of Maryland All-American Brionna Jones and UConn's Saniya Chong.

Jones' final collegiate game came in the state of Connecticut when Maryland was upset by Oregon in the Sweet 16 game in the NCAA tournament. Meanwhile, Chong run as a part of the winningest class in NCAA Division I women's basketball history ended with a Final Four loss to Mississippi State in the city of Dallas. Naturally, the Dallas Wings took Chong in the third round (No. 26 overall).

"I am truly blessed to be able to get this opportunity," Chong said in a statement released by UConn.
