Tennessee’s Olivier Nkamhoua got a splashy celebration from his fellow Vols after toppling Duke

After No. 4 Tennessee took down No. 5 Duke during Saturday’s round of 32 game in the 2023 men’s NCAA tournament, the Vols found the perfect way to celebrate their leading scorer.

Forward Olivier Nkamhoua led Tennessee with 27 points in the big victory that will get the Vols to the Sweet 16 next weekend.

After the game, Tennessee teammate Uroš Plavšić carried Nkamhoua into the locker room where the latter got a welcomed water bath and plenty of cheers.

This is the kind of locker room celebration we love to see March Madness, and Nkamhoua was certainly deserving of the ample love from his teammates.

The Vols are trying to keep the good feelings going in Knoxville after the football team’s exciting fall, and knocking off Duke in the men’s NCAA tournament just never hurts.

Nkamhoua had the game of his career on Saturday, and he got the hero’s welcome that everyone on Rocky Top would approve of after the victory.
