Top 10 funniest Hunter Dickinson memes after Kansas senior gets ejected in Duke game
Hunter Dickinson's ejection from No. 1 Kansas 75-72 win against No. 11 Duke on Tuesday has continued to spark reactions. The Kansas senior kicked Duke guard Maliq Brown in the face while the two were on the floor in the second half.
After Dickinson missed a short jump hook over Brown, both players fell on the floor. They began to fight for a rebound, and Dickinson kicked out, making contact with Brown's face. The foul was initially called a flagrant-1 but was later changed to a flagrant-2 (and an ejection) after a lengthy monitor review.
The star center left with 11 points, six rebounds and three assists as Kansas led 57-55. Freshman Flory Bidunga was called in as Dickinson's replacement, and he posted six points and eight rebounds, including two key offensive rebounds late in the game and a steal in the final minute.
Although the Jayhawks won, Dickinson's eviction was a main topic of discussion among fans. They posted memes on X (formerly Twitter) about his actions. Here are the top 10 hilarious Dickinson memes following his ejection.

Kansas coach Bill Self thinks Dickinson's eviction vs. Duke will teach the senior "a good lesson"
Kansas coach Bill Self talked about Hunter Dickinson's ejection for kicking Maliq Brown after the game.
"I thought it was a good call," Self said per ESPN. "I thought the flagrant-2 may have been a little severe. I thought it was definitely a flagrant-1. ... I didn't think at the moment that it warranted a level-2, but I do think it needed to be called."
"The explanation was that it was intentional and his head went to the ground, which is probably accurate," he later added. "But I didn't think it was enough to warrant that. But the bottom line is it did, and it'll probably be the best thing to happen to us that it did because it'll teach him a good lesson and also it'll give some other kids some confidence."
Meanwhile, the Jayhawks' next game will be against Furman on Sunday.
