Let's all take an opportunity to review the unspoken code surrounding Twitter and high school recruits - even after getting dumped in a championship:

Maryland’s prized new recruit, Diamond Stone — a Milwaukee kid and former Wisconsin target — celebrated the milestone with mildly provocative tweets: laughing emoticons, a congratulatory message to Duke’s Jahlil Okafor, marching turtle emoticons, and so on.

[. . .]

And so Wisconsin fans were not pleased, as you might expect. And Wisconsin fans responded, as you might expect. And things got ugly, as you might expect. And it made me want to secede from sports fandom, as you might expect.
