Saint Louis mascot shows March Madness love for Buffalo Bills with NFL celebration

March Madness is in full swing for college basketball lovers, and even the Saint Louis mascot is embracing the 2026 NCAA Tournament with an epic celebration.

The Saint Louis Billikens advanced into the Round of 32 on Thursday after a tremendous performance. The 9-seed managed to take down the Georgia Bulldogs after putting up over 100 points in their first game.

However, the Saint Louis mascot is receiving just as much attention after his NFL tribute to the Buffalo Bills. The Atlantic 10 champions played their first round matchup in Buffalo, so it’s only fitting that the Billiken used Bills Mafia’s patented celebration.

The Saint Louis mascot was spotted jumping through a table on Thursday, just like many NFL fans have done over the years in upstate New York.

Clearly, the good luck charm has worked thus far for Saint Louis and its basketball team. Their NCAA Tournament run now continues in the Round of 32 against the number one seed Michigan.

However, the Wolverines will certainly pose a greater challenge after winning the Big Ten regular season title in 2026.

The Billikens do have the benefit of rising star Robbie Avila leading the team. The school’s center made waves throughout the year for his epic nicknames, including “Cream Abdul-Jabbar.”
