Alabama Crimson Tide has officially defeated top-ranked UNC in Sunday’s basketball game, leaving many fans feeling all sorts of ways.
Alabama truly stunned many college basketball fans as they defeated the top-ranked UNC Tar Heels 103-101 in four quarters of overtime. Alabama is ranked 18th, but both teams went into the matchup going 5-1 so far this season, so it was a tossup of who would ultimately pull the win.
Times are great for Alabama fans this weekend as the Crimson Tide continues to pull wins, defeating Auburn in the football matchup on Saturday as well.
Things are a bit tougher for UNC fans as they’re in the opposite spot, facing two overtime losses, one being against NC State in the football matchup.
However, as emotions surface, whether they be tragic or joyous, fans are bound to express themselves on Twitter with some of the best content.

Sarcasm is always a great route to take in trying times. One fan called out UNC with pure sarcasm, understandably frustrated by such losses over the weekend.

One UNC fan, however, holds optimism for the team through these tough times. While it’s never easy for one to watch their team lose, optimism is a great thing to hold onto when the team is still ranked number one.

Another compared NC State and UNC, claiming State “broke UNC basketball” after defeating them in football.

However, apparently Alabama’s basketball team isn’t quite as popular as their football team. Maybe they’re bound to be after winning such a game?
This is the one time a year Alabama fans remember they have a basketball team
