Following Baylor’s stunning loss on Sunday to Louisville in the Elite Eight, RGIII couldn’t help himself but let loose on an epic Twitter rant expressing his displeasure with the Cardinals physical play. You have to give it to Griffin for standing up for his alma mater, but he may want to try Facebook where the character limit is much longer.
Whew…..ok I took my time to calm down and not go off on twitter about the Baylor Girls Basketball game….BUT I CAN’T DO IT!!!!!

No hate on this end people Louisville won & will live to play another game #Props but that doesn’t mean I have to like how it went down

Oh..& anyone offending B. Griner, Coach Mulkey’s Family or anyone else involved with the team needs to back-back back-back give Em 50 ft

Yes people Louisville hit the 3 ball all night. But for every 3 they made, they threw 6 elbows, 5 straight lefts, 4 right hooks…

…..3 roundhouse kicks, 2 jumping knees, & 1 superman punch at B. Griner’s abdominals. Aiming for her face but couldn’t reach

To those who are mad and lose respect for me because I support my school and support my friends…….

I would rather have the guts to stand up for them, then to have that respect for sitting down & saying nothing
