Donovan Mitchell hilariously thought Keegan Murray was still in college

With the NCAA Tournament in full swing, the collective basketball community is getting a crash course on some of the top players and teams in the country on the biggest stage in the game.

That includes Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell.

The All-Star caught the first-round matchup between the (8) Iowa Hawkeyes and (9) Auburn Tigers on Thursday night and hilariously thought he saw a familiar face: Keegan Murray.

Except, of course, that wasn’t him.

Mitchell shared his discovery with his 1.4 million followers on Twitter and was quickly reminded that he saw Keegan’s twin brother, Kris, on the court with the Hawkeyes. He followed up on his original tweet and corrected himself.

The two brothers played together last season in Iowa City and helped the Hawkeyes advance to the NCAA Tournament. Keegan left the team and became the fourth pick by the Sacramento Kings while Kris opted to stay one more season.

Unfortunately, the Hawkeyes were bounced early from the tournament.

The team lost in the first round for the second straight year after falling to Auburn, 83-75, on Thursday. Kris neared a double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds in the loss, capping off a career year that will likely be his last in school.

Kris was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press after averaging 20.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 games. He was the only Division I player to average 20 points, 7.5 rebounds and one block with 60 3-pointers this season.

He is projected to be a first-round pick this year. He shares many of the same abilities that Keegan has, and projects to be an impact player at the next level. With Keegan having a strong rookie year, teams will likely be curious to see if Kris can duplicate that success.

In any case: Mitchell will soon have to face another Murray in the NBA.
