You love to see it.
Before Tuesday’s Champions Classic clash between No. 19 Kentucky and No. 6 Duke, several Blue Devils were heard saying this of the Wildcats: “They can’t play with us.”
Perhaps even more disrespectful was that Duke fans were trashing Kerr Kriisa’s mustache during the game.
Thankfully, Kriisa got the last laugh, as Kentucky rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit to win 77-72.
And Kriisa let Duke hear it after the game.
“I had these Duke people talking crazy at me all game about the ‘stache,” Kerr said on an appearance with The Field Of 68: After Dark. “And then, when I went to talk to them after the game, they left. So, if you’re the Duke fan who was by the courtside…man, you know the ‘stache did the work.”
Oh, the stache plays. The stache plays.
