March Madness announcer Kevin Harlan is experiencing the wrath of the Internet after making a comment some people think is comparing Jesus to the Syracuse basketball team.
Harlan said, “Syracuse has done it. Back from the dead on Easter Sunday,” after Syracuse capped off an improbable comeback in the Elite Eight against Virginia. People with access to Twitter weren’t pleased. (VIDEO: Coach K Denies He Chewed Out Oregon Player. Luckily There’s Video Of It)
This is…a bit much, Kevin Harlan. https://t.co/Gvq8aZbUFP

Good thing Kevin Harlan didn’t see Roy’s hand, I’d be afraid of what he would do with that on Easter Sunday.

Kevin Harlan with the “Syracuse back from the dead! .. On Easter Sunday!” line. Not sure that was the best timing.
