[Saba Sports News] Following their Elite Eight clash on Sunday, NC State’s DJ Burns couldn’t resist poking fun at Duke’s Jared McCain after their teams squared off.
In a dominating performance where the Wolfpack overpowered the Blue Devils with a 76-64 victory at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, NC State excelled in the paint, outscoring Duke 38-26. Celebrating the win, Burns shared a video on Instagram showcasing teammate DJ Horne evading McCain for a three-pointer, coupled with a humorous edit of McCain dancing, a nod to McCain’s TikTok dance fame.
Despite being a frequent target for his social media presence and unique style, McCain delivered a notable performance with 32 points, 11 free throw successes, 6 rebounds, and 5 three-pointers.
However, Burns stole the spotlight with his 29 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks, even earning accolades from NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, overshadowing McCain’s efforts.
