Kudos to the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes

Kudos to the Miami (Fla) Hurricanes for coming into the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC, and winning the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament last week.

The 'Canes defeated the UNC Tarheels 89-79 in the ACC final on Sunday. They also beat another North Carolina school the North Carolina State Wolfpack 81-71. In the first round, the 'Canes won over Boston College 81-71.

ESPN analyst say that the 'Canes have weak offensive rebounding which could make them vulnerable to an early upset in the NCAA tournament.

The 'Canes will first face Pacific University, the Big West Tournament champs from Stockton, Calif., in the first round of the NCAAs.The team's mascot is the beloved Sebastian the Ibis (pictured above).

But, it was not a bad week for all North Carolina schools. The North Carolina A & T Aggies won the MEAC Conference with a win over Morgan State, a Maryland school, in Norfolk, Va., on Saturday.

Yesterday, the Aggies defeated Liberty University, the Big South champions from Lynchburg, Va., in the preliminary play-in game 73-72 in Dayton, Ohio. They fill now face the Louisville Cardinals, the overall number one seed in the NCAA tournament.

Quote of the Week- Bill Cosby

Wow! I have another unbelievable nightmare trying to get this image uploaded!

At any rate, we are posting a comment from Bill Cosby because he was the commencement speaker at North Carolina A & T University in Greensboro, NC, in 2008.

Today marked the 50th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-in at the old Woolworth's Store in downtown Greensboro and just in time for the occasion the International Civil Rights Museum was opened on that site. The students who participated in the sit-in were from NC A & T. Jesse Jackson was among the dignataries present for today's opening.

Here is the quote from Cosby:

"Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you say their name it will carry."
