DeMarcus Cousins, the star Wildcat freshman big man, said the game would not be determined by “who can read the fastest.”
Cousins added: “We’re here to play basketball. It’s not a spelling bee.”
It's funny because Cornell is an Ivy-League school, and as we also all know, the Ivy League has dominated NCAA Division I Spelling Bee and Men's Speed Reading for the last several seasons.
Women's Spelling Bee has notably been dominated by Pac-10 schools since the 1995-96 season.
I'm suddenly having second thoughts about picking Kentucky to go all the way on my Spelling Bee bracket.
ReplyDeleteI think Kentucky is a solid pick, just to spell some of the names on the roster is a herculean effort!
