Kentucky no friend of the Ivy League

Up by 16 at the half, one Kentucky player came out of the locker room on CBS's online feed and declared to the camera "This ain't no spelling bee, this is a basketball game!"

Sounds like a dig at the Ivy League.

Check thedp.com/sports for a recap of this spelling bee later tonight.

UPDATE: My sister has alerted me to this NYTimes piece about the Cornell/Kentucky game in which DeMarcus Cousins provided the same quote, so I guess it wasn't new news.

The Times' "Quad" blog has had some interesting stuff throughout the week, notably this post from Penn basketball alum Stephen Danley comparing Cornell to the Bucknell team that gave Kansas a ride a few years back

Enjoy the rest of round two this weekend.
