Projected Tournament Winners

Now that the field of 68 has been whittled down to 16 in the NCAA Men's Tournament, which team nicknames remain?

In the East Regional we've got the OSU Buckeyes, the Kentucky Wildcats, the Marquette Golden Eagles and the UNC Tar Heels.

In the West Regional the remaining teams are the Duke Blue Devils, the Arizona Wildcats, the UConn Huskies and the San Diego State Aztecs.

In the Southwest Regional the survivors are the Kansas Jayhawks, the Richmond Spiders, the VCU Rams and the Florida State Seminoles.

And finally, in the Southeast Regional there are the Butler Bulldogs, the Wisconsin Badgers, the BYU Cougars and the Florida Gators.

Five humans (Tar Heels, Blue Devils, Aztecs, Jayhawks and Seminoles); three felines (two Wildcats and one Cougar); two canines (Huskies and Bulldogs); and one each of a tree (Buckeyes), a bird (Golden Eagles), an arthropod (Spiders), a sheep (Rams), a mustelid (Badgers) and a reptile (Gators).

Purely statistically one of the humans should win.
