          Although Drake has recently been connected with the No. 3 Kentucky Wildcats, the rapper adds another college basketball team to his list of fandoms.

          On Selection Sunday, Houston University chairman and Houston Rockets owner Tilman J. Feritta brought out Drake while celebrating the Houston Cougars' No. 1 seed in the South Region.

          "We always want to welcome a guy who calls Houston his second home," Feritta said. "He really wants to be a part of the community. Huge sports fan, he can play a little b-ball too."

          Then Cougars star guard Jamal Shead presented Drake a custom Houston jersey.

          The five-time Grammy-winning artist may be forced to pick between the Cougars and the Wildcats should both teams face each other in the Final Four.
