Court-storming has been one of the hottest topics in sports after Duke star Kyle Filipowski injured his knee in a collision with a fan.
It has escaped the professional sports world within the last few decades, but the art remains in college sports, making for some all-time moments.
However, there have already been two high-profile incidents this year – one involving Filipowski, and another with Caitlin Clark.

Filipowski's injury has led to a strong outcry that court-storming needs to be banned – but a prominent former coach says it's not that easy.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., experienced plenty of intense atmospheres during his coaching days at Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech and Cincinnati before going into politics.
Tuberville coached 258 games with tens of thousands of crazed fans, and in his mind, those fans outweigh any potential banning.

Duke head coach Jon Scheyer said Filipowski's status for Wednesday against Louisville was up in the air, as the big man was "not himself," but he wound up taking the floor.
The loss moved Duke down from No. 8 to 10 in the country – they are 21-6 overall and 12-4 in the ACC, behind only their arch-nemesis in UNC.
