Undefeated Does Not Equal Perfect and Strongman Back Day

The bracket remains intact!!

I rode the Spartans as far as I could but I had them losing to Duke... and Duke really blew them out by 20 points?! But, the evening really belonged to Wisconsin who ended the perfect run of the Kentucky Wildcats. 

Many of the Kentucky players did not shake hands with the Wisconsin players that had beaten them. The thing that really stood out to me though was at the post game interview. One of the Harrison twins of Kentucky dropped a racially charged expletive regarding Frank Kaminsky of Wisconsin. It is important to remember that these guys are 18-21 years old, but a display of good sportsmanship when beaten by a better team shows a lot of character. That comment was classless and told me a lot about the person.

Today's quote is from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:

"A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork."
