North Carolina State point guard Cat Barber walked back the outburst on Twitter as March Madness excitement.
“Got nothing but respect for @barackobama,” Barber tweeted. “Love our president! Caught up in a moment, Sweet 16!!!”
The rising sophomore initially caught ears during a victory celebration in the Wolfpack’s locker room after 8-seed NC State beat top-seeded Villanova on Saturday, 71-68.
“What the f*ck is wrong with President Obama?” Barber roared in the team huddle.
President Obama is an avid hoops fan that – like millions of regular Americans – fills out a bracket of tournament predictions each season. He picked the Wildcats to beat NC State in their meeting this year.
