Boston Celtics teammates Grant Williams and Jayson Tatum watched their respective alma maters face off in the NCAA Tournament this afternoon.

No. 4 seed Tennessee took down No. 5 seed Duke in the Round of 32 on Saturday, and Williams couldn’t be happier.

Williams, a former Tennessee star, posted a video of a not-so-happy Tatum as the game came to a close with a 65-52 final score.

“F–k Duke,” Williams said to the former Blue Devil.

“Fu*k Duke.” 😂

The Celtics are currently second in the Eastern Conference with a 49-22 record.
