Kentucky sophomore guard Andrew Harrison took to Twitter early Sunday morning to apologize for an off-hand comment he made toward Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky after the Wildcats' loss in the Final Four.
When Karl-Anthony Towns was asked a question about Kaminsky, Harrison appeared to mutter the words “f*** that n****” to himself. Unfortunately, his microphone was turned on, and his words were far more audible than wanted them to be. Harrison told his followers that the phrase was “used in jest.” He also claims that he called Kaminsky himself to wish him good luck in Monday’s title game.
"First I want to apologize for my poor choice of words used in jest towards a player I respect and know," Harrison wrote on Twitter. "When I realized how this could be perceived I immediately called big frank to apologize and let him know I didn't mean any disrespect. We had a good conversation and I wished him good luck in the championship game Monday."

Harrison is most likely headed to the NBA, so we’re not sure if there will be any repercussions here. Regardless, it’s good that he addressed the situation immediately and took ownership for the mistake.
