Chapter 13: Reverse BOAT
"Did you say the University of North Carolina wants to play an invitational match with us in a week?"
Han Sen was in high spirits when Theus approached him after practice to discuss something.
Theus nodded, but there was a troubled look on his face.
This type of invitation was a double-edged sword. If they didn't accept, it would look like they were scared; but if they did accept, they were likely to get crushed.
"This is a bit unexpected," Han Sen admitted, as he hadn't anticipated this development.
Was it just because of what he had said?
It didn't seem likely.
North Carolina was Michael Jordan's alma mater and one of the most well-known schools in the NCAA. With such a prominent reputation, they were often the target of trash talk. If they had to respond to every jab, they'd be overwhelmed.
"It's probably about their reputation. After all, we're just a second-division team."
Khalil's news had blown things out of proportion.
"It doesn't add up," Han Sen shook his head. North Carolina didn't just have a big reputation; their current strength was through the roof. Even if they beat them, it wouldn't prove anything.
