Louis Farrakhan’s Grandson Balled Last Night For The University Of Virginia

Yes that Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the nation of Islam.  From the Washington Post:

“With 17 minutes 36 seconds remaining in the second half Monday night, Virginia freshman guard Joe Harris made a three-pointer to cut the Cavaliers’ deficit to five. Five seconds later, Minnesota guard Blake Hoffarber responded with a three-pointer of his own.

This was what longtime college basketball coach Dick Bennett was talking about when he told the Cavaliers during dinner Sunday night that, as Harris later recalled, “our transition defense was just terrible.”

But thanks to the hot-shooting of Harris and senior guard Mustapha Farrakhan – who combined to make 8 of 11 three-point attempts – Virginia remained in contention long enough to correct its flaws. The Cavaliers trailed No. 15 Minnesota by 13 and led by 14 during a second half in which Virginia’s adjustments eventually led to an 87-79 victory, its first on the road over a ranked opponent since 2007.

This was what Bennett was talking about when he told the Cavaliers (4-3) during that same meal that they played with great heart and were an above-average shooting team.”

By what it sounds like in the article, he doesn’t do this often.  I guess it is way too much to ask that he makes the NBA.
