Patrick Mahomes got one laugh in before Virginia fans got the last one.
As his beloved Texas Tech faced Virginia in the NCAA Championship on Monday night, the Chiefs quarterback smiled at a heckler for making a jab at his game.
“UVA student gets a surprised smile out of Patrick Mahomes after said student yells, ‘ANDREW LUCK IS BETTER!’ as Mahomes walks past,” CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander tweeted.
Mahomes may have been smiling at the memory of his Chiefs crushing Luck’s Colts 31-13 in the divisional round of the playoffs, one of the many highlights of his MVP season.
Unlike Saturday’s Final Four showdown against the Michigan State, however, the Red Raiders failed to top the Cavaliers in overtime.
Following the 85-77 loss, Mahomes, who watched the championship game with girlfriend Brittany Matthews and teammate Travis Kelce, congratulated Texas Tech on an unforgettable season.
