BYU Cougars
Xavier Musketeers

Winner: Cougars – Normally you would think a Musketeer with a rifle would be able to shoot a Cougar but this Cougars got hops. I see this Cougar evading any sort of attack by the Musketeer and pouncing on him.

<< back to bracket

ROUND 2

Eastern Kentucky University Colonels
Michigan State Spartans
