WVU leads Kentucky at the half

TAMPA, Fla. — In the first of two games of the Tampa subregional, West Virgina finished the half on an 8-0 run in the last 1:10 to take a 41-33 lead into the locker room.

Despite shooting 56.5 percent and getting 16 points from freshman guard Brandon Knight, “Big Blue” fans — which traveled well — are disgruntled by the halftime deficit.

The matchup is the first of the day, pitting the No. 5 and No 4 seeds of the East Region against one another, as well as two coaching legends: Bob Huggins and John Calipari.

The winner of this game will most likely face the overall No. 1 seed Ohio State in the Sweet 16.

Alexandra Wallace apologizes, announces she will no longer attend UCLA

Alexandra Wallace announced she will no longer be attending UCLA in an apology letter released to the Daily Bruin on Friday.

Wallace, the creator of the ““Asians in the Library” video that went viral last Sunday, released a statement through a spokesman for the Wallace family.

The letter comes the day UCLA announced that it will not take action against Wallace for the video.

Below is Wallace’s full letter:

In an attempt to produce a humorous YouTube video, I have offended the UCLA community and the entire Asian culture. I am truly sorry for the hurtful words I said and the pain it caused to anyone who watched the video. Especially in the wake of the ongoing disaster in Japan, I would do anything to take back my insensitive words. I could write apology letters all day and night, but I know they wouldn’t erase the video from your memory, nor would they act to reverse my inappropriate action.

I made a mistake. My mistake, however, has lead to the harassment of my family, the publishing of my personal information, death threats, and being ostracized from an entire community. Accordingly, for personal safety reasons, I have chosen to no longer attend classes at UCLA.

UCLA will not take action against Alexandra Wallace

UCLA is not pursuing action against Alexandra Wallace for her YouTube video “Asians in the Library,” university officials announced today.

In a statement, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Janina Montero explained that Wallace’s video rant did not violate the Student Code of Conduct, and the university does not punish free speech.

“We have no intention of pursuing a discipline matter “”mdash; which in no way diminishes the pain felt by so many in the campus community and around the world,” Montero said in the statement.

Wallace could not immediately be reached for comment.

The video showed Wallace, a third-year political science student, making derogatory comments about Asian students.

Florida-UCLA: The History

TAMPA, Fla. “”mdash; No. 7 seed UCLA will face No. 2 Florida in a NCAA Tournament third-round matchup on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. PT.
