Twelfth-seed Yale upset fifth-seed Baylor for the first significant upset in the first round of this year’s NCAA tournament on Thursday. A big reason why Baylor couldn’t manage to pull out the victory was because they were out-rebounded by the Bulldogs 36-32.
After the game, a reporter asked Baylor senior forward Taurean Prince to explain how the Bears managed to let Yale, a smaller team, grab more boards than them.
Prince, who was involved in a brief scuffle with a teammate during the loss, responded with an answer that will likely rub some people the wrong way. He seemed to be frustrated — understandable, considering the disappointing loss brings his college career to an end — and didn’t really care for the question. But, hey, he’s not wrong!
