College basketball star Keisei Tominaga says there should be more room for emotion in sports. “I think it should be more celebrated,” Tominaga, a 23-year-old University of Nebraska guard originally from Japan, said after he went viral for openly crying after his Cornhuskers lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska, a No. 8 seed, was knocked out Friday by 9th-seeded Texas A&M, 98-83.

“I’m just happy to be something people talk about,” Tominaga, who’s known for his boisterous attitude on the court, said. Tominaga, who grew up in Japan and is still a member of the country’s national basketball team, began his playing career in the U.S. in 2019 at Ranger College in Texas. He joined the Cornhuskers two years later.
