Nigel Hayes from the Wisconsin Badgers has been making a name for himself during this year's March Madness. Earlier this week, Hayes had some fun with a stenographer at a press conference when he threw in some difficult to spell words such as antidisestablishmentarianism seemingly for no reason.
Everyone had a laugh at that and when Hayes was back in front of the cameras yesterday and sure enough, the moderator tested his ability and Hayes didn't disappoint, throwing out the word 'syzygy' (the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies in a gravitational system).
Everyone had a laugh, Hayes checked that the stenographer had got it down and then turned to his teammates and uttered the words 'gosh she's beautiful' thinking, for some reason that he couldn't be picked up by the microphone. Cue laughter and a very embarrassed Hayes.
In less than 24 hours, the slip up has been viewed by almost 600,000 people on YouTube. Hayes is a highly rated draft prospect so it's possible you may be seeing this moment dragged up again in a few years.
