If Mascots Ruled the World...

My picks for the first four Sweet 16 games tonight...based on mascots alone.

(2) San Diego State Aztecs v. (3) UConn Huskies

- Close matchup, but in the end human intelligence prevails.  Aztecs take the W with a couple of late spear throws to the heart of the Uconn players. San Diego State by 2.  

(3) BYU Cougars v. (2) Florida Gators

- Talk about a toss up.  Gators have sheer force and strength on their side, while the cougars have speed and agility.  But can cougars fight in water? No.  Sorry Jimmer, Gators by 7.  

(5) Arizona Wildcats v. (1) Duke Blue Devils

- I'm not exactly sure what Blue Devils are, but there is no doubt that they can take down a bunch of glorified house-cats.  Duke by 15.

(8) Butler Bulldogs v. (4) Wisconsin Badgers

- Would a badger defeat anything in this tournament? I mean, come on, out of all the ferocious members of the animal kingdom you pick an ugly hybrid of a skunk and raccoon?  Plus, don't forget these bulldogs are experienced fighters.  Bulldogs by 5.

- Major
