2004 NCAA Tournament Nicknames Quiz
Now that March Madness is upon us, it is time to test your knowledge of the school nicknames for
each of the 65 teams in this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Admittedly, there are a bunch
that I didn't know prior to this past week. On the left side of this page are the 65 teams in
alphabetical order. On the right side are all of the official team nicknames, also in alphabetical
order. Your job is to match the school name with nickname. For those of you who would like more
of a challenge, try to guess the school nicknames without looking at the list on the right. The answers
are listed below. Good luck.
Hint: The following are NOT school nicknames:
- Liberty Or-give-me-deaths
- Memphis Elvises
- Pacific Oceans
