Monmouth pulls out Star Wars, Santa Claus celebrations for latest win

Monmouth continued piling up wins over bigger programs when it defeated in-state rival Rutgers 73-67 on Sunday, and its bench proved itself to be the best in the nation again. Not because of on-court production, but because of its top-notch celebrations.

Monmouth continued piling up wins over bigger programs when it defeated in-state rival Rutgers 73-67 on Sunday, and its bench proved itself to be the best in the nation again. Not because of on-court production, but because of its top-notch sideline celebrations.

During this game, the now-famous supporting players showed off tributes to Santa Claus and his sleigh as well as the weekend’s box office champion, Star Wars.

No surprise: The @MonmouthBench likes Star Wars, too. https://t.co/wdNCQA1Vkp
