Two of college basketball’s premiere programs met on Saturday with Kentucky getting the better of Louisville 75-73 at Rupp Arena. With the Wildcats producing numerous NBA players in recent years, one of them took the opportunity to gloat. However, the response he received was one he probably wasn’t expecting.
Karl-Anthony Towns played in last year’s game between Louisville and Kentucky, scoring 10 points and grabbing nine rebounds. Now he’s playing for the Timberwolves and making a strong case to be the NBA’s Rookie of the Year. On Saturday, Towns was keeping an eye on his former school and decided to troll teammate Gorgui Dieng (who attended Louisville) after Kentucky’s victory.
I know you saw this win @GorguiDieng. All about them CATS. #BBN

Dieng responded about the best way he could.
Let me know if you wanna see what champoinship ring look like my son @KarlTowns

Not only he did Dieng invite Towns to take a look at the championship ring he won in 2013, Dieng hit him with the “my son” too. Towns did issue a response, though.

It is humorous, but Dieng clearly wins this round.
