Ranking the Best Team Nicknames in College Basketball

Not every college basketball team can be winners on the court, but with the right nickname and mascot, they can be perennial champions in the world of sports trivia.


With 351 schools participating at the Division I level, there are quite a few different nicknames out there. There are also a lot of repeat monikers, as 15 schools apiece are named Bulldogs or Eagles in some form, 14 have Hawks in their name, and another 13 are some type of Tigers.

Here's our choice for the 10 best. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
