South Carolina had the perfect Twitter response after upsetting Duke in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

Following their 88-81 win over the Blue Devils that sent them to their first Sweet 16 in school history, the school’s official Twitter account responded to a USA Today article that dismissed them.

Here’s the article that came after Villanova lost on Saturday:

Duke’s path to the Final Four looks ridiculously clear with Villanova’s loss. https://t.co/T7ivac3qV4

— USA TODAY Sports (@USATODAYsports) March 19, 2017

And this was the school’s response:

Oops. #Gamecocks #MarchMadness https://t.co/CExekUJ1Ii

— U of South Carolina (@UofSC) March 20, 2017

File that under: When calling someone “ridiculously” easy as an opponent backfires.

But South Carolina wasn’t done! They also trolled Duke too:

Scale from 1-10, how shook is #Duke right now? #marchmadness

— U of South Carolina (@UofSC) March 20, 2017

This is your moment, South Carolina. Enjoy it.
