When you’re as loud and vocal as LaVar Ball is, you have to be prepared for the ridicule when you’re associated with failure. So it’s no surprise that Ball, the father of UCLA point guard Lonzo, was the target of some memes after the Bruins were outplayed by Kentucky 86-75 on Friday night in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

A few others were ready with memes as soon as the Bruins lost:

Lonzo is almost certainly off to the NBA, where he will likely be a top-five pick. His brother, LiAngelo, is headed to UCLA in the fall, while younger brother LaMelo will be heading to Westwood in a few years. That means we’ll still be hearing plenty more from LaVar even if UCLA was eliminated in the Sweet 16.
