Lincoln Riley trolls Texas after they are upset by Abilene Christian in NCAA Tournament
Texas basketball was upset in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley took the opportunity to troll them.
It can’t feel good to be a Texas fan today.
Shaka Smart and his team came into the NCAA Tournament this year fresh off of their first Big 12 Tournament championship and were looking to make some noise in all the madness. Instead, they found themselves on the wrong end of a No. 3-No. 14 upset to Abilene Christian. In their lowest-scoring outing of the season, the Longhorns would’ve only needed 54 points to advance to the second round, but couldn’t muster it up and fell to the Wildcats 53-52 in astonishing fashion.
The loss was so embarrassing that Texas fans were on Twitter after the loss calling for the immediate firing of their head coach Shaka Smart. Though he’s accrued a 109-86 record in his six years at the university, he’s failed to get out of the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The Longhorns were the butt of many jokes on Twitter on Saturday after the loss and Oklahoma football head coach Lincoln Riley decided to join in on the fun.
