Cussin’ Nevada coach got shirtless after pulling off historic March Madness comeback
Eric Musselman is fired up.
No. 7 Nevada stunned No. 2 Cincinnati Sunday night in 2018’s NCAA tournament, 75-73. They did so with a 32-8 second-half run to erase a 22-point deficit and close out March Madness’ second-largest comeback in tournament history.
Tournament firebrand and Nevada head coach Eric Musselman was understandably fired up following the drama, and perhaps in anticipation of being doused with water upon entering his team’s locker room, he prudently removed his dress shirt before celebrating with his players. Or maybe he just didn’t feel the need to wear a shirt in this particular moment.
Even before Musselman’s WWE-style entrance into the locker room, he gave a wild, ranting interview on the court in the heat of the crazy moment. Everything about this is perfect.
Musselman has already gained tournament notoriety for dropping numerous F-bombs on live television, after TBS cameras haplessly wandered into the Wolf Pack locker room following the team’s dramatic comeback win over Texas in the first round. You hit record, you take the risk, TBS.
This, right here, is March. Just ask Nevada’s Twitter account.
