The NCAA Finals are just around the corner and the qualified teams are hustling harder than ever. The Sweet 16 is finally over, leaving eight teams to now compete for a spot in the Final Four. As teams prepare for their respective face-offs, a video of one particular coach boosting the team spirit in a rather interesting way surfaced on the internet. Shortly afterwards, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young co-signed on the video and revealed that he’s actively rooting for their victory in the tournament.

When it comes to sports, every team has their pregame ritual that helps them prepare for the matchup. While individual players have their respective rituals, like Michael Jordan preferred to smoke hours before the game, this particular team apparently listens to Lil Baby to get their head in the game.

Trae Young shows his support to K-State

After defeating Kentucky, the Kansas State Wildcats progressed to the Sweet 16 for a matchup with the Michigan State Spartans. Whereas, the Spartans had secured a spot after defeating the Marquette Golden Eagles. The game took place on Thursday night when the Wildcats emerged victorious over the Spartans 98-93. While fans rejoiced in K-State’s win, it was their pregame ritual that ended up garnering attention in NBA circles, which included Hawks star Trae Young.

In the video shared by the official Twitter account of K-State Men’s Basketball, the team was seen vibing to the song ‘Low Down’ by rapper Lil Baby. The players were seen clapping along to the beats of the song along with their head coach Jerome Tang.

The video was shared by 24-year-old star guard Trae Young on Twitter who openly gave a shoutout to the team, proclaiming his support. He wrote, “So @lilbaby4PF got y?all goin crazy.. knew I made the right choice picking y?all to win the whole thing.”
