The famous Monmouth bench mob never reached the NCAA Tournament, but the Wisconsin benchwarmers are having a good time with the team’s trip to Madison Square Garden for the East Regional.

Walk-ons Aaron Moesch and Matt Ferris got more screen time then they’ll get floor time in Friday’s Sweet 16 game against Florida in their Jay-Z parody video “Badger State of Mind.”

Best rhyme: Took it to the Garden, 4 Pennsylvania Plaza/Catch us on the court, cause we’re hotter than a sauna.

Said, of course, with a Wisconsin accent.

And that’s Vitto Brown singing Alicia Keys’ chorus. You don’t see his face, but those are some recognizable pipes.

The eighth-seeded Badgers are now the Big Ten’s last hope after Michigan and Purdue lost in Thursday’s Sweet 16 games. They’re slight underdogs against Florida.
