Has anyone ever seen a team cut down the nets

Duke cut down the nets after they beat the Tarheels in 2011 on Senior Night... they clinched the ACC regular season with that victory. I thought it was kinda strange...... but they didnt ask for my opinion.

The Baylor situation is really strange. At least Duke in your situation and Tennessee in theirs cut down nets that were used in the game that clinched it. Baylor nets were just nets.

I can understand both decisions. A coach doesn't want their team to be satisfied with the regular season or conference championship because they want them to thrive with win the NC. But it can also be a great way to celebrate the accomplishment especially in front of the home crowd.

Well Tenn has zero chance of a NC so I guess this can be there big celebration. Again I say look how far they have fallen, from contesting for the NC every year to cutting down the nets like they actually did something by winning the SEC!

Why don't they just attach the nets with Velcro? It would be a lot more economical. They could even just pull them off for every victory.
