Story highlights An NBA announcer says Saskatchewan is known for having a lot of sasquatches

Canadians, including Saskatchewan's premier, set him straight on Twitter

(CNN) Which came first: Saskatchewan or the sasquatch? That question probably never occurred to you, unless you were watching the Utah Jazz play the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

During the basketball game, Fox Sports announcer Mark Followill pointed out that Jazz forward Trey Lyles was the first person from Saskatchewan to ever play in the NBA.

"Of course that region's known for being known for being home to a lot of sasquatches," broadcast partner Jeff Wade added. "That's what it's named for."

It's not clear why Wade made that connection. Lyles, a 6-foot-10 rookie out of the University of Kentucky , is a very tall man, even by NBA standards, but he is not Bigfoot.

The clip quickly made its way back to Saskatchewan, and bemused Canadians took to Twitter to correct, or at least mock, Wade.
