A Really Big Man!

So just how big is the Badger's Frank Kaminsky? Even bigger than his 7-foot stature. And he showed us just how big a guy he is after the slur he reportedly received from a Kentucky player Saturday night. Kentucky’s Andrew Harrison found out the hard way that nothing said during a post-game press conference is ever really private. Harrison was seated with several teammates at an interview table when a reporter asked Karl-Anthony Towns about Kaminsky, saying: “Karl, could you talk about Kaminsky and what if anything is unique about defending him?” Near the end of the question, Harrison covered his mouth and mumbled, “F... that N-word.” By Sunday morning, Harrison, 20, was apologizing to Kaminsky on Twitter and saying that he had called “Big Frank” to apologize, adding that he used the words “in jest towards a player I respect and know.” Both Harrison and his twin brother and teammate, Aaron, skipped the postgame handshake line with Wisconsin, too, but it was Andrew Harrison’s comment that drew attention away from that slight. A spokesman for the Wildcats said that the school would speak with Harrison. Exactly what Kentucky will do is unclear, given that Harrison may be heading off to the NBA. As far as Kaminsky is concerned, it’s all a non-issue. “He reached out. We talked about it,” he told reporters at Wisconsin’s press conference. “Over it. Nothing needs to be made of it.” This is why we're proud of our Badgers, right? Go Get 'Em Bucky!
