Duke guard turned sports analyst Jay Williams had social media in a frenzy while commentating the Kansas and Oklahoma State. Williams was asked, if the transfer portal existed when he played where he would go, answering Georgetown. However, when followed up about playing in today’s game, which school would be his choice, he reluctantly said UNC.

In a hilarious exchange, Duke legend Jay Williams shocks college basketball by saying if he were in the transfer portal today, he would go to UNC because of their fast style of play.
