And then there were 16.
The NCAA Tournament resumes across TSN on Thursday night with Michigan battling Oregon in the first Sweet 16 matchup. Thursday and Friday consists of 4 games each where the winner will advance to the Elite 8 and be one game away from playing in the Final 4.
There’s the so-called “bracket experts” who year after year proclaim they can predict the entire field. Then there are the clueless college basketball fans who decide it’s in their best interest and entertainment to select their winners by team mascot.
You more than likely know the teams, you might know the seeds, but can you name the mascots for Thursday’s Sweet 16 teams?
Lucky for you we didn’t ask you to do this prior to the tournament when there were still 64 teams remaining. Tomorrow we will be quizzing you on Friday’s Sweet 16 mascots.
