Dawn Staley showed Geno Auriemma how to lose with class

There's nothing fun about blowouts in championship games. It was especially bitter seeing South Carolina get stomped by UCLA yesterday knowing how much Geno Auriemma must've enjoyed it.

Who knew that guy was such a hater?

Well, now we know. The UConn legend exposed himself as such after his team lost to South Carolina in the semifinals Friday, and he threw the biggest tantrum a 72-year-old has ever thrown. Crying over imagined handshake snubs, ripped jerseys and spilled milk.

Actually, he didn't imagine the milk spill. That did happen. In the form of an upset loss by the previously undefeated Huskies. Which sent Auriemma into the tirade aimed at Dawn Staley.

We get it, Geno. You don't lose much. But get a hold of yourself, man.

STALE APOLOGY: Geno apologized without mentioning Dawn

You know who else doesn't lose much? Dawn Staley. Yet, even after getting destroyed in the title game for a second straight year, she gave UCLA head coach Cori Close a tight embrace and showered her with praise. Take notes, Geno.

"I'm always happy for people who've worked hard in this game, who are really quality people. I want good things to happen for them," Staley said. "And Cori is one of those people who really works at making our game better. Not just UCLA but our entire game. She's always speaking out and uplifting our game in so many areas. It's hard to continue to do that while maintaining the job that you have to do every day, but she finds the time. So, although we didn't win, I can swallow it because we lost to a really good human being and a good team that represents women's basketball well."

That's how it's done.

The Giannis vs. Bucks situation is getting weird

The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are engaged in a unique dispute we don't often see in the NBA, and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

According to ESPN's Shams Charaina, Antetokounmpo said he wants to play but the team won't medically clear him. The Bucks, however, claimed Antetokounmpo doesn't actually want to play and declined an opportunity to play 3-on-3 scrimmages as part of his return protocol.

Somebody is lying. The NBA is investigating to find out who.

The Bucks have a lot to gain by Antetokounmpo sitting, with lottery odds on the line, but who knows what's actually happening here.

What I do know is this might be too much for the sides to come back from. After previous rumors of Antetokounmpo wanting out of Milwaukee, this offseason might finally be the right time for a split.
