After beating #2 Michigan. It just looks stupid to me. I can see it perhaps if Rutgers did that or Minnesota, etc., but Wisconsin?
Wisky fans storm the court....
- Thread starter pitt-girl
- Start date
Agreed. They were in the NC a couple years ago. Come on.
Took Bo Ryan 20 years to build that program and Greg Gard 2 seasons to wreck it.
These freshmen are doing great and are getting more battle hardened every game. If we can add some talented length to the mix this team can make some serious noise in 2 years.
Cant believe they beat them without Konate. Maybe they can make a run at the NIT. Would be fun to play them in the NIT.
Pitt, WVU, Duquesne all in the NIT?
Real fans storm the court after a big win.
Fans with confidence storm the court after a big win.
They want to celebrate their win and make sure the losers know they lost!
Fans who don't storm the court after big wins have deep psychological issues.
They actually think this is dangerous, others might be injured or killed, or by storming the court they're
hurting the feelings of the loser team and fans!
These are the same people huddled in their homes today scared to death of
the snow storm that isn't going to happen, afraid to drive, or the people when you go to a food
store take advantage of the Purel Wipes the stores provide as you watch them wipe down
their entire shopping cart plus any exposed skin on themselves or kids.
I would bet no one was injured.
The Wisconsin fans had fun. They won so celebrate!
They live in the Midwest which is realville not a coastal elite city!
Go Badgers!

The concept of storming anything is dumb. Wisconsin of all places should know better since they almost killed students trying to storm the field at Camp Randall. I personally know one the students who was trampled and injured in that mess.
There's a reason every conference except the B1G and the ACC punish schools that storm the court. It's just looking for trouble - remember Donatis when he almost punched a Syracuse fan? It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Our oldest was there the day NCSU beat the Dukies for the first time in decades. There was a kid in a wheelchair that was overturned. Luckily one of the NCSU players picked him up and off the floor. It was all fun and games until it wasn't.
Storming the court is dumb.
People like you who are afraid of their shadows, take no risk, don't think risk taking is worth it, hate to have fun, and really hate to see others having a good time always pick one example and make that the rule!
Do you know how many court storming have taken place with nothing happening but fans and players enjoying themselves!
People choose to storm the court. Noone forces people to storm the court and you accept the risks.
If you don't want to storm the court stay in your secure seat and depart the venue when you feel it's safe.
As you wait for a safe time to leave feel free to use your Purel Wipes to clean your hands because there are harmful germs all over the place.
Fyi the drive home is probably way more risky than storming a court.
But here are the official NCAA rules for storming a court and Wisconsin qualified under section # 6, paragraph 3.
Court Storming Rules and Restrictions
The following rules and restrictions indicate when court storming is not allowed.
1. College hoops bluebloods
Rule No. 1 is pretty straightforward. College basketball’s bluebloods are NEVER allowed to storm a court in any circumstance, so act like you’ve been there before Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Indiana and Syracuse. This list can change from over time but these programs are basically never allowed to rush the hardwood. Ever.
2. Teams ranked in the top 15
If your favorite team is ranked in the top 15, they have no business storming the court. In general, Top 15 teams are No. 4 seeds or better in the NCAA Tournament and those fans have no business streaming out onto the floor after a win.
3. Teams ranked higher than the opponent
If your favorite team is ranked higher in the polls or standings than the opponent, invading the court isn’t allowed or appropriate.
4. Teams that are favored
If your favorite team is favored in the game in question, why would you have any business running out onto the hardwood after a win? You were supposed to win the game in the first place. C'mon.
5. Recent national champions
If your favorite team has won a national title in the last 10-15 years, then storming the court shall not be permitted. National championships indicate the best of the best, so while your team may not be a “blueblood,” it’s still one of the best programs in the nation currently. Therefore, nix the court-storm. Looking at you Louisville, UConn, Michigan State, Maryland and Florida (whose fans can't really storm the court anyway).
6. During the NIT
This goes for any tournament game of any kind really — preseason or post — but is only possible in the NIT since games are played on home courts. This is the Clemson Rule after the silly Tigers rushed the floor after an NIT win a few years ago.
Court storming is a generally a fun and harmless expression of joy. So let’s not dilute the fun by rushing the floor every time we want. We are better than that, aren't we?
If your favorite teams ends a long — like more than a decade long — losing streak against an archrival or pulls a monumental upset over a top 10 opponent or clinches a championship of some kind, then rushing the floor to celebrate is perfectly acceptable.
I’d be embarrassed to share a degree with you, but you went there before it was highly regarded so I’ll give ya a pass.People like you who are afraid of their shadows, take no risk, don't think risk taking is worth it, hate to have fun, and really hate to see others having a good time always pick one example and make that the rule!
