No. 16 seed WKU upsets No. 1 seed LSU in Sirius XM's Mascot Bracket, advances to 2nd round

The NCAA Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships, were canceled by COVID-19 on March 12, but the College Sports on SiriusXM Twitter account has revived intercollegiate sports competition by initiating the Sirius XM Mascot Bracket, an online mascot tournament that’s provided quite a bit of entertainment for WKU fans.

The bracket, which initially featured matchups between 64 unique mascots from schools around the country, was released on April 3. Since then, there have been two completed rounds of voting.

Although the tournament was initially slated to begin on Monday, the SiriusXM Mascot Bracket left out a few mascots that fans believed should be in the tourney field.
