- NCAA. Another March Madness collapse: Texas in for a hard immediate shake up
March Madness brings with it new celebrities, and it was expected that the McNeese State Cowboys coach would steal the spotlight in this tournament where he already gave the first surprise, but not before dazzling with a special detail with his cheerleaders.
The McNeese cheerleaders wear...
There is no doubt that Amir Khan is one of the faces of college basketball, and the cameras are directed towards him as much as possible, but now he has taken by surprise all Internet s and basketball fans to see how the cheerleaders wore socks with his face.
That's right, they made custom socks with the face of the student manager who became famous because he jumped into a game with a giant boombox, in addition to becoming the first student manager to sign a NIL deal, something that happened a week before the start of March Madness.
Comments like "Campus hero", or "McNeese is made for March" were some of the reactions that appeared on X, talking about this character who was one of the most wanted to take a picture with him during the team's victory against Clemson (one of the surprises of the tournament).
