After Kentucky’s stunning comeback win over Gonzaga, a Gonzaga fan account on social media found itself hilariously “owned” by Big Blue Nation.
The game started with Gonzaga dominating the first half, leading by 16 points and scoring 50, while Kentucky seemed completely out of sorts. Confident in their team’s performance, a Barstool-run Gonzaga fan account tweeted at halftime, trash-talking Kentucky. At that point, with Gonzaga’s strong lead, it seemed like a valid prediction, as the Bulldogs hadn’t lost a game in which they led by double digits at halftime in 175 games.
However, Kentucky came out for the second half with a vengeance. They played more aggressively, out-rebounding Gonzaga and steadily cutting into their lead. The Wildcats eventually tied the game and went on to win in overtime. This shift sparked Kentucky fans to go back to the original tweet and deliver some trash talk of their own.
The once-confident post from the Gonzaga fan account, which had minimal interaction at first, quickly went viral after the game. Big Blue Nation flooded the tweet with comments, quote tweets, and replies like “Update?” and “Pretty good!” Kentucky fans had their fun with the situation, demonstrating that when it comes to trash talk, no one does it better than them. The wave of replies showed that Big Blue Nation’s passion and ability to deliver a comeback online matched their on-court performance.
