The America East final was between the fourth-seeded Albany Great Danes and the second-seeded Stony Brook Seawolves, two large dog-like creatures, one of which is real. And when dogs get together, they like to play and/or fight.
Stony Brook, Albany mascots fight during America East Championship game
An NCAA Tournament bid is on the line. And the best way to decide it is MASCOT FIGHT.


Which might explain why during the midst of the conference championship game, Damien the Great Dane and Wolfie the Seawolf got into a legit mascot fight while play was live:
It got SERIOUS:
There was just a serious mascot scuffle between the Great Dane of Albany and the Seawolf of Stony Brook. Event personnel had to separate.

— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 15, 2014 Call the game -- it's pretty tight, 40-38 at the under 12 timeout -- so the teams are even. The way we should decide who gets to the NCAA Tournament should be Mascot Fight.
