West Virginia’s big-talking freshman Daxter Miles Jr. had predicted unbeaten Kentucky would be 36-1 after Thursday night’s Midwest Regional semifinal in Cleveland. Kentucky’s players saved their smack for the court — the Wildcats doubled up the Mountaineers, 78-39, to bound into the Elite Eight — and the Post-Game Twitter.
When reporters entered the locker room following the rout, Miles briefly hid in a handicap bathroom stall, according to CBS Sports, until he was coaxed out by an assistant coach.
His subdued post-game interview mainly consisted of repeating the phrase “Kentucky played great” with some minor variations.
