Nevada's Eric Musselman explains reason behind shirtless celebrations
Celebrating shirtless has become something of a tradition for Nevada head coach Eric Musselman.
After Nevada pulled off a 22-point comeback against Cincinnati to advance to the Sweet 16 on Sunday, Musselman was seen removing his shirt before joining his players in the locker room.

Musselman shared the backstory behind the celebration during an appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Monday.
"The first year I was at Nevada, we won a CBI championship, and as I was taking my dress shirt off to put on the championship T-shirt, the guys grabbed me and picked me up," he said. "I was midstream of getting the T-shirt on and it just kind of became a tradition.
"I guess because my wife's really, really good-looking, I gotta try to stay in as good as possible shape as I possibly can."
