Duke basketball narrowly advanced to the Elite Eight of March Madness with a three-point win over Houston on Friday night. The Blue Devils were buzzing in the locker room after the win.
Of course, Jared McCain led the charge!
His six rebounds, four assists and seven points during the game did not necessarily jump out off of the stat sheet. However, the five-star freshman continues to be an integral piece to his team’s success.
Both as an athlete on the court and in the locker room. McCain brings tremendous vibes. He is always smiling. And even though everybody wants to hate Duke, myself included, his joy is contagious.
The haters can focus on Kyle Filipowski, Jeremy Roach, Tyrese Proctor and the likes. Jared McCain — unless you detest positivity and individualism — is impossible to dislike.
He recruited Roach to join him in his postgame dance, which took place before they changed out of their uniforms while members of the media were still in the locker room. Sean Stewart and a few others, including an assistant coach, made an appearance as well.
Stewart is normally behind the camera. That was also true on Friday.
It is a team effort to perfect McCain’s TikToks, as exemplified by BTS video.
The way that Stewart hypes up his guys while filming is incredible. Vibes are so high.
Even Stewart’s cameraman had a cameraman!
Duke has had a pretty easy path to the Elite Eight. That is impossible to deny.
But with that being said, the Blue Devils are playing tough ball down the stretch and matchup pretty well against North Carolina. If McCain continues to keep the morale up with his dances, they could keep dancing (March Madness pun intended) their way into the Final Four.
A national title would create perhaps the most viral college sports TikTok of all-time…
