Watt’s home split Friday night when Wisconsin, the alma mater of Arizona Cardinals’ new defensive end, JJ Watt, faced North Carolina, the alma mater of Chicago Red Stars vanguard , Kealia Watt. Ultimately, JJ outscored his wife Kealia, with his badgers getting an 85-62 victory in the first round of the 2021 NCAA men’s tournament.
And he made sure to have fun before, during and after the match.
First, he had his dogs choose a side, dressing them in Wisconsin red and Carolina blue:
Wisconsin Vs. North Carolina tonight.
A divided house.

Halfway through, with Wisconsin very big, Kealia joked about how JJ got “arrogant”.
Things are not going very well here. @JJWatt becoming very arrogant. Finley and I still have faith !!!!!! https://t.co/uxe4WoEuHa

And then JJ tweeted a GIF of Michael Jordan’s speech on “The Roof is the Roof” at UNC, which continues his work as an expert troll.

But did Kealia have the last laugh? Tar Heels fans might say yes, but JJ? Not too fast.
Although I am upset by the loss, I still remember @JJWatt how many NCAA national championships does UNC men’s basketball have (6) and how many Wisconsin have (1). I also remind you how many I have (1) and how many I have (0)
