GO HAMPTON!!!
 

Hampton beat Iowa St. and are in the 2nd round! i'm so excited. i think they're the first HBCU to get that far. i didn't go to Hampton but as a Spelmanite, i'm quite proud.

I went to a HBCU and I'm REALLY proud. I was up watching the game ans cheering like it was my school. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I love underdogs, so I thought the upset was cool.

I have to say is GO IRISH tonight against Xavier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to an HBCU and I am ecstatic that Hampton made it this far. I might actually watch the tournament.

Yes, Coppin State defeated #1 Kansas....thanks to a great team and "Fang the man Mitchell."

I am so proud of Hampton....way to represent the MEAC!!!!! Look out Georgtown! Love my HBCU.......

skkkkeeeeeeeeW WWWWweeeeeeee!



------------------
TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN....MUCH IS EXPECTED.

I also would like to show some HBCU love to Alabama State University (SWAC Champs). This is their first trip ever to a NCAA tournament. They will be play tonight against Michigan State. ASU is seeded number 16 while MS is #1. Let's pray that they make history along with Hampton.

oops, that tells you how much i pay attention to college b-ball! i'm sorry Soror Discogoddess, i'm with Xavier tonite and definitely Alabama St. if anyone watches the UC vs. whomever game on Saturday, look for the cheerleaders and you'll see their captain, Soror Shadaia Gooden, Omicron's president.

No, I don't think you are correct, Soror! I know back in the day, Southern University, my other alma mater, advanced to the 2nd round of the tourney (late 80's). I think back when Avery Johnson (of the San Antonio Spurs was an undergrad and would come to my momma's house eating up our food!) LOL

Anyway,
Good luck Hampton! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Just a point of clarification: Notre Dame is playing Xavier University of Ohio tonight, not Xavier in New Orleans (HBCU). Soror Wend08, if you are still talking about Xavier of Ohio, all I have to say is:

We are N D! We are N D! (with our lepBROchaun and all)!!!!!!

GO IRISH! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

She said, lepBROchaun....now that's funny! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yeah, XU of New Orleans was beaten. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

DG,
I gotta hate hard. GO XU GO XU. I go to BC. heheheheh http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Congrats Hamptonites!!!!! I am really proud of Hampton!! I wish it was my beloved South Carolina State University. However, as long as it is a HBCU it will always be my much love!!!!!!

I saw the game and it was down to the wire!!! I love being part of the HBCU family!!!

As a proud Hamptonian(not Hamptonite Diamond 007, but I ain't mad)I must say that my school is representing to the utmost. To all the Hamptonians in here I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE MY HUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock the Blue and White. Class of "00"!!!!!!!!

WenD08,
Coppin State, which is in Maryland I think, actually beat a number 2 team also in 1997 (I found this out from the espn.com site), but you are right, all Black college grads should be proud of Hampton for their efforts. Those two schools are 2 of 4 in the history of the NCAA tourney where a numbr 15 seed has beat a number 2. I just hate I did not pick them in my pool!!!

My manager's husband is a Hampton Grad (from the late 70s) and she said he was up until 2 a.m. "celebrating" via the telephone with his college buddies. I thought that was real cute

I don't attend an HBCU but I'm equally proud. Go Hampton Go!!!

I wish Hampton lots of success as they continue to upset the NCAA tourney...I love it.

Discogoddess : I love the leBROchaun. My husband and I went to the Big East games again this year and we always manage to see Notre Dame play whoever...and I love your mascot! He is a mess.

Not to gloat, Kitten 03, but ain't no future in ya frontin--ND won 83-71. I guess our lepBROchaun is the charm!

BTW, this is lepBROchaun's second year and all two of us black ND alums are too excited to see some brown representing the blue and gold. Last year they had him in JET (as the first black leprechaun @ ND)...now, that's when I knew my school had really made it! That's an honor almost like that velvet painting of MLK, JFK and RFK (or Abe Lincoln) that your grandmama has in her living room (well, my grandma has hers downstairs, but Jesus and the Clintons are in the front room).

Now it's on to beat some Ole Miss behind! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Congrats to Hampton!!!

I'm upset that y'all beat Iowa St and messed up my brackets, but it's all in fun http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

If you beat Ole Miss, I'll love you forever http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif (just like I live Charolette(sp) for sending Tenn home early. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Oh Well...


Hampton just got beat in the second round by Georgetown... it was a good run while it lasted http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

boo, HU lost. hopefully, they'll come back next year. and okay, XU lost, too. well, now i'm saying go any team headed by a Black coach and UC. i'm the daughter of a Bearcat so i have to root for them!

As a Hampton alumna I was truly ecstactic with Hampton's ability to be a "Cinderella" at the NCAA Ball!!!! Georgetown is a formidable team, but to know that we were able to get thusfar says a lot! Hampton will be on the radar for years to come! The HBCU community was represented very well!

I love, I love, I love--my H-I-U!
