David Mirkovic pushed through sharp ankle pain and barely any sleep to help Illinois take down No. 4 Purdue—then let loose with a postgame celebration that was pure chaos. Mirkovic, who scored 12 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, said he couldn’t imagine sitting out and watching his team lose, describing the pressure as almost unbearable. After the buzzer, he was so amped he screamed for seven minutes and even broke a board in the locker room. Is this level of intensity what college sports needs, or does it cross a line? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #FightingIllini
