WATCH: Chris Collins Celebrates Northwestern's Win Over Illinois With Shirtless Dance

Northwestern coach Chris Collins did not put any limitations on his celebration after the 96-91 upset win over Illinois Wednesday. Collins danced around the team's locker room shirtless after taking down another top-10 team.

Chris Collins knows how to party, apparently. After Northwestern pulled off a 96-91 overtime upset over No. 10 Illinois, the Wildcats coach celebrated in style ... or something like that.

Northwestern's social media team posted a video of the locker room celebration following the team's upset win over its in-state-rival. Collins danced around the area shirtless.

It seemed that he was just preparing for the gatorade shower he was about to get after the big victory. Either way, the video received plenty of attention.

You don't see a coach celebrating a win shirtless very often.

The only thing missing? If Collins would've "twisted it around his head, spun it like a helicopter," just like Petey Pablo instructed back in 2001. The song was "Raise Up," for all you youngsters out there.

Wednesday's win marked Northwestern's first over a top-10 Illinois team since 1956. It was also the second victory over a top-10 team at home this season, also taking down No. 1 Purdue back in December.

It was quite a bounce-back performance for the Wildcats, who lost to Illinois 96-66 in Champaign earlier in the month. So, Collins' celebration after this win seems incredibly fitting.

Hey, sports are supposed to be fun, right? It doesn't look like Northwestern's coach has any trouble with that concept.
