A reporter at Wisconsin's Final Four media day innocuously asked Frank Kaminsky about his FIFA prowess. It started out okay, as Kaminsky furiously defended his talents while his teammates derided them. Then Nigel Hayes took over.
Warning, @marchmadness media: Be careful if you ask @BadgerMBB's Frank Kaminsky about his video games. http://t.co/oRmYxQRJkn

"We care more about suckoffs in Smash battles. We're a Super Smash Bros. team, so FIFA has really taken a backseat to that. All we care about is our suckoffs."

We decided to google whether "suckoff" is a term in Super Smash lingo. DO NOT GOOGLE WHETHER SUCKOFF IS A TERM IN SUPER SMASH LINGO. My guess is somebody on Wisconsin has been playing as Kirby and inhaling people and dropping them off the edge, somebody called that a "suckoff" and everybody laughed, then Hayes brought it up in front of a room full of reporters and that's how we got here.
Hayes has undoubtedly been the press conference star of the NCAA Tournament. First, he decided to drop complicated words in a press conference to make the stenographer's job interesting, then he called a stenographer "beautiful" not realizing that his microphone was on and everybody could hear him.
FWIW, the Badgers have talked about their Super Smash addiction before -- they have the N64 version.
