I didn’t see the celebration, but given they were at home against their in-state rival, they had just gotten trounced the game before, they weren’t highly ranked going into season, and this has been a weird and pressure-filled season what with all the Covid restrictions, I don’t fault them celebrating a bit too excessively. I’m sure there are people who find the Illini’s locker room celebrations excessive too. But that is what makes college sports so great — the passion, the emotion and the celebrations.
