Kentucky guard Andrew Harrison made a mental error following his team's 71-64 loss to Wisconsin in the Final Four last night when a press conference microphone picked up him mumbling a racially explicit remark towards Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky.
But Harrison quickly realized his error, and late on Saturday night, issued a statement on Twitter apologizing for his actions an made sure to reach out to Kaminsky to apologize one-on-one.
