Wisconsin's Nigel Hayes has hilarious press conference moment (Video)

Wisconsin sophomore forward Nigel Hayes certainly has an affinity for stenographers.

Before the Badgers’ round-of-32 game against Oregon, Hayes tested the stenographer in Omaha with a series of challenging words before answering a reporter’s question.

As for the word “syzygy”, that was a new one for me, too.
