VCU took on Illinois in a Round of 32 matchup on Saturday night. The Rams got to the game after pulling one of the biggest upsets in round 1 as they overcame a 19-point deficit to come back and knock off the Northe Carolina Tar Heels, 82-78, in overtime on Thursday.
Trolling has become a major part of college sports, and the Rams band director did just that by wearing a Michael Jordan North Carolina jersey during the game against Illinois on Saturday night.
CBS broadcaster Ian Eagle noticed the band director during the game, and commented that he was trolling North Carolina fans across the country.
For much of the game against the Tar Heels, VCU was in big trouble, but Terrence Hill Jr. delivered a game for the ages by scoring 34 points. He hit the dagger 3-pointer late to give the Rams a 2-point lead late in overtime.
The loss for North Carolina has been a tough one to deal with, as it is the second consecutive year they lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. There have been calls for Hubert Davis to lose his job, and this is only going to be another thing that will drive North Carolina fans crazy.
