Great Teams and Mascot Names in the Big Dance

  • Maryland Baltimore County Retrievers.
  • Kent State Golden Flashes.
  • Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils.
  • Cornell Big Red (I smell a sponsor).
  • West Virginia Musketeers (I smell another Sponsor)
  • Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
  • San Diego Toreros (What's a Torero?)
  • From the "I don't think this has happened before" department... if Oral Roberts and Marquette make it to the Elite 8, they play each other. That would make it the Golden Eagles verses the Golden Eagles. If that happened, this would be the greatest tournament EVER!

Not to be nitpicky, but it's the Xavier Musketeers and the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Some of my other favorite mascots: Vanderbilt Commodores
Georgetown Hoyas
Texas-Arlington Mavericks

Also, an interesting matchup involving two teams whose mascots don't end with an s will take place when Cornell Big Red faces the Stanford Cardinal. Can you name 5 other college teams whose mascots don't end with an s?

I am glad the other comment had the correction. I am from West Virginia and was sad when I saw Musketeers, even though I am sure some of the "rednecks" around have some guns.
