The Florida Atlantic Owls didn’t let beating Kansas State in the Elite Eight keep them from getting a little trolling in after the game.
After FAU topped Kansas State for a spot in the Final Four, 79-76, a video showed the team dancing and clapping along to rap artist Lil Baby in the locker room.
It was a way to poke fun at Kansas State’s pregame tradition of getting hyped by clapping along to Lil Baby’s song “Low Down.” In today’s social media age, it’s impossible for traditions like that not to go viral.
It’s also hard to avoid some playful trolling when you’re playing a team with that tradition, which is what FAU capitalized on after Saturday’s win.

FAU will now prepare to compete as only the third No. 9 seed in men’s NCAA tournament history to make the Final Four.
Can the Owls continue to shock the world during this March Madness? Time will certainly tell.
