• WEDNESDAY'S SHOW: Charles Barkley ... Jordy Nelson ... Ray Lewis

Cornell's Wittman clears up 'Passion Bucket' controversy

Cornell star Ryan Wittman joined the show to talk about last night's loss to Kentucky.

"We were a little too passive on the offensive end," Wittman said. He also said that the Wildcats were very aggressive defending their dribble-hand-offs.

Wittman also weighed in on the "Passion Bucket" controversy. Wittman dropped the DP Show phrase at Wednesday's press conference. Since then, pundits have made an issue out of "passion bucket." John Feinstein said that was an example of Wittman making fun of the notion "we're the smart kid."

Wittman laughed at the controversy. "I didn't even know what the term meant until five minutes before the press conference when our coach asked us to throw that out there," Wittman said.

"It's definitely something that we're not thinking about too much," Wittman said of the white guys vs. black guys angle.
