So it's happening: The two most hated schools in the NCAA Tournament are going to face off on Saturday. No. 4 Duke vs. No. 12 Yale. Will the basketball be good? Probably not. Will the game be close? Almost certainly no.
But were the Twitter jokes of decent quality in the hours after the matchup was finalized? Most definitely.
