There aren't many casual NCAA fans. You're either really into college hoops . . . or you know virtually NOTHING about it. And yet, EVERYONE wants to fill out a last-minute March Madness bracket.
So, "USA Today" has a suggestion for all the neophytes: Choose winners based on the awesomeness of their MASCOTS. They ranked the mascots of all 68 teams. . . and here are the Top 5:
1. The Radford Highlanders. There can be only one!!! (???)
2. The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks
3. The Wichita State Shockers
4. The UMBC Retrievers
5. The San Diego State Aztecs
By the way, Alabama's Big Al ranked 27th
