Former Duke All-American point guard Jay Williams went against the Blue Devils family Saturday, and fans of the program are not happy.
Williams, now an analyst for ESPN, picked Virginia to beat Duke on Saturday. But he didn’t just pick the Cavs to win; he rubbed it in. Williams went Superman and unveiled a Virginia jersey he had on under his jersey and then he jumped into the UVA fan section.
Well you can guess what happened after that — Duke erased a big deficit and came back to win 69-63. Duke fans were sure to remind JayWill of his bad pick.
Take a look at Williams’ Twitter mentions below:

@RealJayWilliams you sell out teammates for smoking weed, then wear a VA jersey under your suit to the #DukeVa game? Your a real Corny dude.

@ESPNCBB @RealJayWilliams I get the pick and I know it's your bit, but wearing the jersey is a dagger to the heart of a former Crazie.

Of course, there were many more mentions that contained inappropriate language. After this sort of feedback, Williams may be too scared to pick against his team again.
