Cuban Connection Part 3: March Madness

Not typically a sport you associate with Cuban athletes, basketball. But check out Robin and Brook Lopez. I caught a bit of the Stanford-Marquette NCAA game last night. The Lopez twins are 7-footers who play for Stanford. Their father Heriberto Lopez played baseball in Cuba. Unfortunately, he's been estranged from his sons since he split with their mother Deborah Ledford when they were five years old. Ledford was a champion swimmer for Stanford in the 1960s.

Check out the Lopez twins for yourself. Stanford beat out Marquette in overtime and play on in the tournament. Here's the schedule.
