Here is the list of March Madness mascots for both the men and women’s tournament
The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournament, also known as March Madness, is a single-elimination competition held in the United States to decide the men’s and women’s collegiate basketball national champion.
The competition, which is played primarily in March and has 68 teams, was held for the first time in 1939 for men and the tournament was founded for women in 1982.

Meanwhile, this year, while the women’s competition was coming to an end on Saturday, the men’s event was starting its second round.
The day was powerful, even though there weren’t many surprises. Caitlin Clark, on the women’s side, made her tournament debut and came very close to registering a triple-double.
Paige Bueckers of UConn triumphantly returned to the competition on the opposite side of the bracket following a two-year absence due to injury. JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo, two rookie sensations, both made their tournament debuts with amazing performances.
Men’s tournament favourites Jack Gohlke and Oakland were eliminated by No. 11 NC State, while UNC, Arizona, and Tennessee triumphed.
