Wisconsin basketball coach Greg Gard delivers epic locker room celebration after Badgers upset Purdue in Big Ten tournament

[ad_1]

Wisconsin basketball delivered an epic victory against the Purdue Boilermakers in the Big Ten tournament semifinals on Saturday.

Greg Gard’s locker room speech and celebration was just as epic.

“That may be one of the best I’ve ever seen,” the Badgers head coach said about the team’s 76-75 overtime win over the top-seeded Boilermakers.

No line, however, was delivered more perfectly from Gard than this one: “Raise your hand if you fouled out?” Gard asked his players, rather rhetorically.

The three players who fouled out raised their hands.

The fouls, of course, raised several questions on the broadcast and on social media with many feeling the Badgers were getting hosed.

Gard likely knew this.

“Raise your hand if you fouled out.” 🙋‍♂️🤣

Then Gard, maybe even invoking Deion Sanders, the exuberant head football coach at Colorado, shouted to a staffer “can I have my theme music?”

“Jump Around” then buzzed in the background as his players did the rest.

The vibes were buzzing.

Crank the vibes all the way up today, Badger Nation‼️
