Nyquel Alexander's internet famous, for a reason he'd never have guessed.
It's not easy to go against a man this large. By Tramel Raggs Tramel Raggs Sports reporter Email Bio Follow March 29 at 1:56 PM Three minutes and 35 seconds into last Sunday’s NCAA tournament showdown between Central Florida’s Tacko Fall and Duke star Zion Williamson, it happened.
“It’s crazy, the next day I was in class chilling and my friends was like,’ Bro, you famous,’ and then they showed me the Vine,” Alexander said in a telephone interview this week. “I was mad 'cause of the comments about me being big and playing the wrong sport, but then my followers started going up on all my social media, so I just accepted all of it and laughed.”
“I was just like, ‘Yo, this dude really 7-6!’ I’ve never played against a 7-footer, so this crazy,” Alexander explained. “One part of the video, he tried to, like, bump and move me and everybody knew that wasn’t happening, so I sat there and looked up like, really?” “Just know I made sure he didn’t score on me or dunk on me,” Alexander said. “I didn’t really care about stats; I just came off the bench and played my role.”
“He’s definitely gotten better since we were in high school, I can tell you that for sure,” Alexander said. “I hope he continues to get more aggressive, 'cause when he do, he can’t be stopped.”
