Florida State’s bench has been pretty entertaining throughout the whole NCAA tournament this year, but last night, they were in maximum overdrive, as the No. 9 seed Seminoles’ beat the No. 4 seed Gonzaga on Thursday.
The bench definitely helped bring home the win. They had crazy energy, and as the game progressed, they ramped up their celebrations. This is what March Madness is all about, and you know the players fed off the bench’s energy. Check out some of the bench madness below.

March madness is infectious, and the team bond is what helps propel these teams to the next round. This bench mob is all in, it doesn’t matter that they’re on the sidelines, or not playing, they’re all in as a team. Plays like this below doesn’t hurt either.

The Seminoles enter the Elite Eight for just the third time in program history and the first time in 25 years.
“It’s been amazing. It’s been an amazing run for us. We’ve all been together. We’ve all been sticking to the game plan night in and night out,” Mann said. “We’re here and going to the Elite Eight, so it feels good.”
