Loyalty of Cameroon Crazies split (04.04.2006)

INDIANAPOLIS - We know who`ll they`ll be rooting for tonight in Gainesville and Los Angeles. But what about in Cameroon?
While the West African nation of 16 million probably won`t stay up into the wee hours huddled around a satellite TV, that doesn`t mean there isn`t a rooting interest in tonight`s NCAA basketball championship game between Florida and UCLA.
Actually, there`s two rooting interests.
Florida`s sensational sophomore Joakim Noah is the son of Cameroon-born tennis star Yannick Noah and the grandson of Cameroon soccer hero Zacharie Noah.
"It`s my roots,`` Noah said Sunday. "I really feel at home over there.``
Not as much at home as UCLA freshmen Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Alfred Aboya, who were born and raised in the capital city of Yaounde.
Aboya, a role player, has been hampered by knee problems. Mbah a Boute was the Pac-10 Conference freshman of the year.
You`ve heard of the Cameron Crazies at Duke?
UCLA has the Cameroon Crazies, a student fan club that has adopted the African imports.
"I played soccer,`` Mbah a Moute said, "but basketball, I just fell in love with it. Reading magazines and following Michael Jordan and then Kobe (Bryant) and T-Mac (Tracy McGrady).``
Back home, Mbah a Moute is a tribal prince, the
son of the village chieftan. Sort of like being the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
"I don`t really have anything to do,`` Mbah a Moute said, "just some ceremonies to attend.``
Noah`s grandfather also is a chief. In fact, Mbah a Moute has spent weekends "chilling" at Zacharie Noah`s club outside Yaounde that offers tennis, basketball and swimming.
"He`s the man over there,`` Noah said of his 69-year-old grandfather. "His girlfriend`s like 30 years old. He goes to the clubs. I couldn`t hold up with him.``
Noah grew up in New York and France, living primarily with his mother, Cecilia Rohde, Miss Sweden of 1978 and an acclaimed sculptor. After a rough freshman year at Florida in which he mostly sat on the bench, he visited Cameroon last summer.
"It was the first time I couldn`t play,`` he said, "and I had lost a little confidence. I needed to go to Africa, to be around family.``
Mbah a Moute could have easily been Noah`s teammate. He spent two years in prep school near Orlando, but never got a firm offer from the Gators.
The international flavor of Los Angeles and UCLA`s academic reputation was attractive and now the Bruins have a player who is improving almost from one week to the next.
Noah looks forward to talking to swapping Cameroon stories with Mbah a Moute, but not until after the final horn.
"Right now,`` Noah said, "he`s the enemy.``
