ESPN put on a stunt at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa where animals gave their picks for the Women’s NCAA championship (Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Multimedia content producer D’Arcy Maine said, “It was [Talent planning manager] Lisa Stokes‘ idea and she was instrumental into getting it together. The zoo had done similar things for other events before, and even the Yankees apparently did something there recently.”
