Ok so Duke lost. Fine, it happens. But seriously Greivis you need to take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror. That weird facial hair was way over the top. You must be kidding me. I honestly couldn't even get mad about the game - that facial hair was too distracting. Just ask my friend Jodi who had to watch the game with me. Your parents came all the way from Venezuela and you looked like that on national television. I saw you're Dad breaking it down to the pep band music, but it was probably just to distract himself from the embarrassment you were bringing onto the family.
Here's a nice SI Q&A with Greivis about his facial hair and hair gel use from 2008. He clearly isn't worried about his image or maybe he gave up on his dreams of becoming a pro?

LW: I wanted to ask you about the thing you had shaved in your facial hair earlier this season. I had never seen anything like it -- crazy designs on your cheeks. How did you come up with that?
GV: My barber did it. One day he was cutting my hair and was doing some fancy stuff. I told him to shave my face too. When you're young you do some crazy stuff. I mean, college is only four years -- you've got four good years of it.You have to think about having a fresh look and see if stuff looks good. It's not about looking good necessarily, it's about having some type of STYLE, you know? Like the Spanish people would do. Like Puerto Ricans or Venezuelans would do. You just have to try some things, like having some style on my face. It was cool for a couple of days, but I can't do that anymore. It's not that great for your image if you're trying to eventually be a pro.
LW: This barber, who is he, in case people want to get that design?
GV: His name is Boris. He's Puerto Rican. I call him Boris The Puerto Rican Barber. His shop is like 20 minutes from [campus]. He's always trying new things. And every time I go to his barbershop, they say, 'Oh, that's the guy from Maryland, and I help to make him a little famous. So people will come over and get their hair cut, and ask questions about our games.
LW: This new style that you've got right now, with the goatee and the slick look, what was inspiration for it?
GV: Right now I'm trying to look fresh, clean cut. I wanted to do something good with my hair, to use a lot of gel in my hair to look Spanish and represent my people.
LW: Gel represents the Spanish?
GV: Yeah man, using a lot of gel. I just try to change it up once in a while. I wanted to do some fancy stuff. You've got to keep it real; keep people asking, "What is that in his hair? And what has he got on his face?" It's all for fun.

See what I mean about the embarrassment?
