Mascot and Tortoise Battle in March Madness Challenge

 
University mascot Spike and Nugget, a tortoise from the herpatarium, are competing head-to-head for the most accurate March Madness bracket.
 
Nugget will make his selections by eating food placed near logos of each of the competing teams. Spike claims to have a secret “fool-proof formula” he predicts will result in a perfect bracket.
 
All members of the Truman community are invited to fill out free brackets and see how they stack up against Spike and Nugget. Pools for both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournament can be found online at playncaa.com under Truman State Univ. (men’s bracket, women’s bracket). The password is TrumanState1867.
 
Updates for Spike and Nugget will be shared on Truman’s Instagram throughout the tournament.
