Isaiah Evans and RJ Davis were at each other's throats during Friday's ACC Tournament semifinals between Duke and UNC. Despite the absence of Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown, Duke were able to prevail over North Carolina, 74-71.
After the game, Evans posted a hype video to X, taking a dig at Davis, who played his last college game for the Tar Heels. He said "third time's the charm," referencing the fact that each time Davis and the Tar Heels suited against them, they took a beating.
Fans on the internet reacted hilariously to the video, which also included key plays from the game, especially Evans's lob conversion.
"Evan’s has talked the most and done the least…and dookies were mad at Zayden last year 😂" one fan wrote.
"Evans with a lot to say with the stat line had tonight. Dook won in spite of him. Go grab some pompoms," one fan took a dig at Evans who finished with two points, two assists and two rebounds in 26 mins of action.
