KU's Silvio De Sousa Apologizes For Part In Brawl, 'I Am Truly Embarrassed'

is breaking his silence following the bench-clearing brawl on Tuesday night ... saying straight-up,"I messed up and I am sorry."

De Sousa received the harshest punishment handed down for his part in the melee ... getting slapped with a 12-game suspension.after a chase-down block, which kickstarted the brawl. During the fight, the 21-year-old is seen holding a stool over his head before a coach yanks it from his hands."Yesterday, during the Kansas State game, I displayed highly unacceptable behavior that was a poor representation of my team as well as my own character.

"I understand that I am extremely fortunate to have been given the opportunity to play for KU and I recognize that I never should have let my emotions get the best of me, but unfortunately that is what happened. By doing so, I put the Kansas reputation at stake because of a moment of weakness and inconsideration.""I messed up and I am sorry."

The NBA should do the same thing danawhite does to fighters who get into fights before they even entered the UFC if you get into fights before reaching the NBA they should never play in the NBA just my opinion HarveyLevinTMZ

I hope you learned from this, athletes of color are under scrutiny more than any other race. Just recognize that you are more important than you think. We can't make mistakes cause our punishments are tenfold

Surely he is talking about his hair...
