It is that time of year again and March Madness brackets lock at noon on March 21. Sometimes it can be rough choosing what team to take all the way, so here are some of the best tips to help you decide.

Scariest Mascot

Sometimes it is not about the players, but how scary a team's mascot can be. A weak mascot cannot take home the NCAA tournament. Personally, the Bradley University Braves' mascot, Kaboom the gargoyle is frightening. Being as strong as stone, the Braves have the possibility of taking home the tournament title.

Best Team Colors

When it comes to choosing a team, keep in mind that the colors they wear on their backs represent them. In some situations, the teams had the same colors, this is when the design of the team's uniforms becomes important. The University of North Carolina has several shades of blue as their main colors. Their choice of colors are both calming yet distinctive and original. They have a high chance of winning the tournament with these dominant colors.

Old and Wise Coach
