The Washington Redskins quarterback and Baylor alum, Robert Griffin III or RG3. was one of those who were disappointed on Sunday when the #1 seeded Lady Bears were upset by Louisville in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.
He wrote his disappointment on Twitter in a series of rants.

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…
