Spike vs. Nugget: March Madness Update

 
Before the Final Four even begins, the Spike vs. Nugget grudge match is over.
 
Earlier this month, the University mascot and a turtle from the herpetarium in Magruder Hall, each filled out March Madness brackets for the men’s and women’s Division I NCAA tournaments. While Spike researched all the teams and scoured through piles of statistical data, Nugget made his choices by picking food placed on each team’s logo.
 
On the men’s side, Nugget secured the win with 33 points to Spike’s 27. After the last round, Spike’s bracket is completely busted. Nugget did get one team into the Final Four and his pick to win it all is still alive.
 
In the women’s bracket, Spike took an early lead the first weekend and remained in first place the entire tournament. He currently has 69 points to Nugget’s 34, and there are not enough remaining points for the standings to change.
