Jack Gohlke became the most popular player in the 2024 NCAA Tournament with his performance against Kentucky on Thursday night, and one of the Oakland star’s old social media posts went viral as he was torching the Wildcats.
Gohlke scored 32 points in 14-seed Oakland’s 80-76 first-round win over 3-seed Kentucky at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa. An old photo that he shared of himself on Twitter in 2016 went viral as he was raining 3-pointers.

Gohlke made a whopping 10 three-pointers in his team’s win, making him just the fifth player in NCAA Tournament history to convert double-digit attempts from beyond the arc in a single game. The 6-foot-3 senior did not look like Mr. Krabs when he was giving a Michael Jordan shrug (video here).
Oakland now has a second-round game against 11-seed NC State, which pulled off an upset of its own against Texas Tech on Thursday. All eyes will be on Gohlke for as long as Oakland remains alive in The Big Dance.
