Havana, Cuba – The game of baseball is popular on the island nation of Cuba. But, street basketball has fans as well. A group of University of Alabama students is studying in Havana, and sending back recorded commentaries to air on Alabama Public Radio. We call the series, "Postcards from Cuba." Today, student Austin Bettis talks about shooting hoops "Cuban style."
