The Celtics spent their Tuesday night at Boston Children’s Hospital, visiting with patients, singing Christmas carols and, apparently, debating who’s the best in college basketball.
A young fan was showing off his basketball expertise and wound up in a pretty passionate debate with Kyrie Irving, prodding at his alma mater’s 89-87 loss in the Duke-Gonzaga game at the Maui Invitational earlier this season.

“Woah, we were just talking about Michigan and UNC,” Irving replied to the boy’s mention of Duke’s loss.
