Hubert Davis is having a very bad day right now.
No. 6 seed North Carolina stunningly got booted from the NCAA Tournament on Thursday by No. 11 seed VCU. The Tar Heels went into halftime at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C. leading the Rams by a seemingly comfortable margin of 39-28 and going up by as many as 19 at one point in the contest.
But North Carolina totally collapsed in the second half, getting outscored 47-36 to send the game into overtime. VCU then prevailed in the extra period to win by a final score of 82-78.
In response to the epic choke job by his team, the Tar Heels head coach Davis got completely blasted online. Take a look at some of the cruelest memes that Davis received.
Hubert Davis get ready to learn unemployment, buddy.

The former NBA guard Davis took over for Roy Williams at North Carolina in 2021. He led the Tar Heels to the national championship game in his very first season … but has experienced nowhere near the same success since.
Davis, 55, has only earned one single Sweet Sixteen berth ever since then and has now bowed out of the NCAA Tournament during the Round of 64 in back-to-back seasons. Notoriously awful at managing games with big leads, Davis has looked frustrated on the job over the last couple of years, and now plenty of UNC fans will be hoping that Davis ends up losing said job after Thursday’s stupefying collapse to VCU.
