Jim Larranaga gave us one of the best and most stunning postgame celebration dances after his team squeaked out a win over Illinois Sunday to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.

“I told you guys I wanted to see fighters,” Larranaga told his team. “You know what I saw out there? Muhammad Ali.”

The 63-year-old coach then busted out his best impression of the legendary fighter, shuffling his feet while throwing punches in the air. The ‘Canes loved it, as did we. I can’t stop watching this. It’s even better on repeat.
