Storming the court again...

I guess this is becoming a pet peeve of mine.

Come on Syracuse, you already had 20 wins and just won a NC a few years ago. Do you really need to storm the court for beating Georgetown?

Apparently yes. Do they get a fine as well? Is that an SEC rule or an NCAA rule?

I believe it is just an SEC rule.

Storming the court is beginning to lose all meaning because it seems to happen on a weekly basis...

I tend to agree, but I heard Jim Boeheim this morning make a pretty good point. He agreed that it was silly to storm the court, but is it really the worst thing in the world to have happen as long as nobody gets hurt?

Agreed. I am not losing sleep over it. Just seems silly to a certain degree.

I think it's ok and it's good for the fans but to storm the court, (under some circumstances) but when you don't beat a top 10 team like the 'Cuse last night and still storm the court seems ridiculous and last time I checked Syracuse in my opnion should expect to beat Georgetown at home every year...

I was a senior at Carolina when we beat Kentucky in Columbia in 1997. I was on the front line of the group heading out on the floor. The funny thing is, you feel all jacked up when you're running out there, but once it starts to die down, you kind of feel like a dork out standing out in the middle of the court.

It's like, "Well.........ok............I guess I'll.........head back to my dorm room now.........yep."

UT-Florida last year was justified but Syracuse should not have stormed the court.

I'm not a fan of storming the court...too many potential problems for athletes and fans there.

I'd ask Brandon Powell about that.. He thought it was really fun when the Candy fans stormed the court a few weeks ago... (sucker punched a Vandy fan)
