Stephen F. Austin became the darling of the NCAA Tournament with a huge win over 3-seed West Virginia thanks to 33 points from the Lumberjack GOAT Thomas Walkup. There was a lot of celebration online for his game and for the upset itself. However, some people might have gone overboard with some comparisons and praise of Walkup.
Some of it was simple enough:
Thomas Walkup is an animal

Some people went completely overboard and someone even got to his wikipedia page!

The "songbird of our generation" is one of the greatest lines I think I've seen in a wikipedia bio and then there was this dude who wants Walkup to win everything:
IS THOMAS WALKUP THE GREATEST PLAYER OF OUR GENERATION AND A FUTURE 1st BALLOT HALL OF FAMER!?!?
Idk, I might be under reacting.

That's not an underreaction at all if you ask me.
