It's been over a year since some of us were able to attend an in-person basketball game and a viral unexpected showdown between an HBCU president and a graduate student is more than making up for lost times.  

On Tuesday, Virginia State University student Afolabi Oyeneyin posted a video to Twitter of his university president showing him up during a brief one-on-one basketball game. 

The video starts off with Oyeneyin showing folks on campus he's got game — until he meets his match. 

Cue in Virginia State University president Makola Abdullah who not only settled the score, but annihilated the 24-year-old graduate student. 

After dominating the campus
court, Oyeneyin approached Abdullah who was casually coming down the steps wearing a suit, and that’s when the university president effortlessly took possession of the ball. 

Abdullah subsequently took off his suit jacket then bounced the ball off of Oyeneyin’s forehead. The two continued to engage, and moments later, Abdullah comes in hot with a smooth cross-up. 

Needless to say, the onlooking crowd lost it.

Oyeneyin said “it took a lot" for him to post the video but knew it'd bring far too much joy to the cybersphere to keep it to himself. 

I’m not gonna lie, it took a lot for me to post this ???? he definitely got me tho????

"I knew it was going to be big," Oyeneyin told WTVR. "But this is insane, to be honest. I've never seen that happen before. People are seeing it from all over the world."

One Twitter user poked fun at the situation writing, "President said: Student Body? Naw Student BODIED.."

As of Thursday, the video has been well-received, amassing over five million views in less than 48 hours. 

Following the game, Abdullah took to Twitter himself to express that it was all in good fun and wrote, "I'm just glad I got these knees working."

After all, no harm, no foul, right? 

Oyenin responded to the tweet, declaring an imminent rematch is TBD.
