Paul Pierce’s 3-Word Message to Kansas Fans for the National Title (Video)

Paul Pierce’s 3-word message should excite Kansas basketball fans everywhere.

Kansas basketball legend Paul Pierce is so excited to see his alma mater play for a national title.

Pierce has had a Hall of Fame career both in college and professionally. While many know him as a former star forward for the Boston Celtics, he first made his name nationally in Kansas. The 1998 Consensus All-American had the #34 jersey retired by the Jayhawks. He cheers on his beloved alma mater Monday night at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Pierce’s message is very simple: “It’s our night!”

Paul Pierce has a powerful 3 word message to excite Kansas basketball fans

If Kansas defeated North Carolina on Monday night, it would be the Jayhawks’ first national championship since 2008.

They haven’t come that far in the NCAA tournament in a decade. Though the Tar Heels are playing with a lot of confidence, Kansas has a Hall of Fame head coach on the sidelines in Bill Self.

This could be a huge mismatch for up-and-coming Hubert Davis.

The really interesting thing about all of this is that it’s The Roy Williams Bowl. The legendary head coach ran both of these proud basketball schools.

He was Pierce’s head coach at Kansas before taking over at Chapel Hill after the 2003 college season.

Though Williams never won a title at Lawrence, he did bring three to Carolina during his two-decade run leading his alma mater’s basketball team.

If Kansas continues to play the way it has been lately, Pierce and the rest of Kansas will celebrate.
