Description
The San Diego State men's basketball team is in Houston for the NCAA Championship game and they're joined by cheerleaders, along with hundreds of SDSU students, but you know what's missing in Houston? A school mascot.
Uconn's husky made the trip, along with Florida Atlantic's owl, and Miami's ibis, but SDSU just had an oversized logo at a booth set up for fans to take pictures with mascots.
SDSU had a mascot, but Monty Montezuma was officially banned by the school back in 2018 after some students protested - arguing he mocked Aztec culture.
