The 'NCAA basketball tournament mascots' quiz

Total tries: 84 | Average Score: 46.0 out of 68 (68%) | Quiz FAQ

The field of 68 for the 2026 NCAA men's basketball tournament is officially set, with two schools making their first-ever appearance at the Big Dance.

The action begins on Tuesday with the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, where No. 16 UMBC (back in the tournament for the first time since becoming the first 16-seed to beat a No. 1 against Virginia in 2018) plays No. 16 Howard for the right to play Florida in the First Round, before a clash between 11-seeds Texas and North Carolina State will decide sixth-seeded BYU's opponent.

Which brings us to today's quiz. How many of the mascots for each school represented at the 2026 NCAA men's basketball tournament can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
