Kentucky / Wisconsin game thread

Would have been nice to witness an undefeated season, but Wisconsin is a pretty good team. I hope they can beat Duke.

Post game, the TV announcers are talking non-stop about the no call on the shot clock made basket but not a word on the flagrant foul. GTFO, drink your tears all night long.

Not to take anything away from Wisconsin's defense, but Kentucky really screwed itself by milking the shot clock so much in the last five minutes. Make a good team play defense for only 7 or 8 seconds, and they will shut you down.

Kentucky got its 60th point with 6:30 to play and only score four more the rest of the way. Wisconsin deserves some of the credit for that, but it was largely self-induced. Nice over-coaching Cal - have a nice summer.

So, no one else is hearing this? It was on both sides of the court. Not just rooting for the team (UK) as a whole, but also for individual players and the Calipari. Nauseating indeed.

ESPN.com said the game is on TBS. I didn't know of separate audio feeds. I just want normal coverage that isn't biased. The only time I want a biased feed is when it's for NU and even then I'd rather just have a normal feed.

My bad. I watched it on TNT and not TBS. Good lord. How could they allow such craptastic journalistic stuff to move thru the airwaves. What's the point? To allow homerisms??? Seriously, just let peeps pickup their home audio feeds off of the radio or internet. No need to have three different audio feeds on three different channels. Lame-O.

LOL great example of sportsmanship. Play the race card then back pedal as fast as you can when you get caught.
 
Did I hear that right, three Kitty Cats didn't shake hands after the game? On cue, Stephen A. Smith defends Harrison because of his pigmentation and culture he grew up with....WTF

classless yes...racist not even a little bit....I despise the use of that word by anyone but I am not naive enough to think he meant it in any other way than slang....have to realize that in the black culture its not used or interpreted as a slur like if Kaminsky would have said it about Harrison ....its a double standard but its also accurate

Yep, as a former teacher I know that to young black kids, the "n-word" is just like the word "dude" is to white people. They call everyone of every race that word.

But saying that he said what he said "in jest" is laughable. First, I doubt he even knows what "in jest" means, I have never heard a kid use those words - I'm sure an administrator sent that tweet out. And anyone who watched that clip knows the tone he used it was not one of jest. Would have made more sense to use the old Bo Pelini "heat of the moment venting" excuse.
 
Bullshit. Until the double standard stops, and I get accused of being racist because I disagree with race-baiters I will call it how I feel. He is as racist as 99 percent of people that get accused of it.

From my understanding they use the slang differently.

n***a word compared to the n***er.

Why they think that makes a difference is beyond me because either spelling is the same exact meaning.
 
this is pretty spot on

Andrew Harrison was not complimenting Frank Kaminsky, make no mistake about that, but he was not slurring him, either. Context. It matters. So does perspective, and that's what any conversation about race - any conversation worth having - demands. Bring context and perspective to it, or sit it out. This topic is way too complicated, too dangerous, to be dictated by the unsophisticated.

Until race-baiters blindly jump in and call this racism as well, nothing will ever get accomplished, besides their agendas being driven.

Sorry, but the double standard is the only reason that context matters. If Frank had said that EXACT same thing in the exact same situation...no one would stand up and try to argue context. Was what Harrison said racist? Not really...but it was derogatory and vulgar. And at the end of the day, how is that any different than a racist comment?

The comment shows more about his character than if he is a racist or not, as does the response from Kaminsky reflect his character..

Heat of the moment... Yes, but that is when the true nature and character of a person is shown. Not to pile on but isn't that we have seen enough of over the last seven years here in Nebraska?

The young man needs to go away from the public, work on his game and hope when he decides to declare for the NBA draft that his talents make up for this short coming.
