These March Madness emojis will make your NCAA Tournament better

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

There's one thing the NCAA Tournament has been missing until now: Some good, high quality emojis. Thankfully the Washington Post stepped in with a set that allows you to represent your team in the cutest style possible. There are a lot of great ones, but these are the best.

Providence Friars

It’s darn hard to make a Friar look menacing. Normally they’re such jolly fellows. Instead of leaning into an old-school design they went for a straight “8-Mile Eminem if his hair was black” look.

Duke Blue Devils

That one eye. It’s plotting, scheming, waiting for your downfall. Totally works for Duke.

Indiana Hoosiers

This is a Hoosier, apparently. All emojis are considered accurate and canon, so it’s now a legal requirement that every Indiana resident looks exactly like this.

Manhattan Jaspers

Brother Jasper must have been an awesome dude to get an entire team named after him, but here we are. We’ll let you be the judge if he looks like the real Brother Jasper. Jasper was in Manhattan during the late-1800s, which means that facepaint definitely includes lead.

UC Irvine Anteaters

Anteaters are dope. This is a dope anteater.
