Bets nako for Final Four:

Ohio State (could have been Syracuse if wa lang masuspenso si Melo)
Missouri (payter kaayo ang grupo nilang Denmon, English, Dixon, Pressey brothers ug Ratliffe)
Kentucky (so strong, its their time na jud siguro)
UNC (Zeller, Barnes forward combo is one of the best in the nation)

Southern Miss band chants "Where's your green card?" to Puerto Rican Kansas State Player - Yahoo!Sports



Members of the University of Southern Mississippi band chanted racist taunts at a hispanic Kansas State player during the schools' NCAA tournament game on Thursday.

After point guard Angel Rodriguez was fouled late in the first half of the second-round game, a few band members showered the freshman with cries of "where's your green card?"

The chant and those who participated don't warrant any civilized dialogue. Both are an embarrassment to the university.

Southern Miss president Martha Saunders quickly apologized for the incident.

"We deeply regret the remarks made by a few students at today's game," she wrote in a statement issued two hours after the game. "The words of these individuals do not represent the sentiments of our pep band, athletic department or university. We apologize to Mr. Rodriquez (sic) and will take quick and appropriate disciplinary action against the students involved in this isolated incident."

Rodriguez was spelled incorrectly in the original draft. --- lol

As if things could get any more ignorant, the basis for the band's racism was itself misguided. Rodriguez was born in Puerto Rico, a commonwealth of the United States. Even if he hadn't grown up in Miami and starred for a high school basketball team in that city, he'd still be an American citizen and have no need for a green card. Ignorant ignorance; it's the best kind.

Hernandez and K-State had the last laugh. The Wildcats defeated Southern Miss, 70-64.

Syracuse nearly lost to 16th seed UNC-Asheville earlier.......... maglisud sila kung wala si Fab Melo

Warm Southern hospitality..Hehe

***************************

There will be a new national champ!!.. Pildi ang Uconn sa Iowa State 77-64.. Although this wasn't necessarily an upset kay 8th seed man ang Iowa State, 9th ra ang UConn..

With the game basically over, Jeremy Lamb tried a windmill dunk but failed.. Way to end the season

[æRLO]

^Apparently not for Puerto Ricans or non-murican.

The refs gave Syracuse that game.

anyway, upset alert: Colorado over UNLV 68-64

Tagak na ang reigning Champ UConn, tough game but Iowa St. proved they're the better team.

Even without Fab Melo I'm still putting Syracuse as one of my Final Four together with UK, Missouri and UNC. UNC winning it all, experience and chemistry ( Front court duo: Zeller & Barnes plus Marshall to run the team).

[Disturbing Calm]

now that my 2nd team is gone (Huskies), UK should make the final four..

[inc-pankz]

Uk and Ohio St . .advance sa third round. . .waiting for Mich St. and Kansas nlng!

My Final four bet! either of this four will bag the national championship! opss!!
