Tale of the Tape

In one of the more intriguing matchups (at least for me) of the first round, the sixth seeded Louisville Cardinals will face the eleventh seeded Stanford Cardinal. Though it looks to be an uphill battle for the Mighty Card, Stanford is a team that just might surprize a few people. Go Card!

How can the mascot category be a push. Louisville has multiple Cardinalssss. Plural. Versus one singular Stanford Cardinal. It's arithmetic.

Oh, Stanford's mascot is the color cardinal? Wait. What?

So do they have a color swatch dancing on the court during timeouts?

Oh, they have tree doing that? Wait. What?
