He has already called Frank and apologized, wished him luck for Monday night. If the comment had been made by a white kid we would have probably already heard from Obama. I do think UK should address it publicly...and they will...but if every kid got kicked off every college team in America everytime they got excited and dropped an F-Bomb or a "Nigga"....there wouldn't be too many players. You do read lips on the TV coverage during games don't you?
As a Kentucky fan, I was more bothered by Willie Cauley-Stein walking off the court and not going through the handshake line. Coach should have went and grabbed his ass and drug him back. Unacceptable.
Tough night. Wisconsin executed their gameplan dang near perfect.
40-0 is something that may never happen. The fact that these kids were 2 shy of it will absolutely haunt them...don't care what anybody says otherwise. Hell of a run though...
