Wisconsin fans found the perfect place to party in Indianapolis after the Badgers advanced to the NCAA championship game for the first time since 1941 with a classic upset of previously undefeated Kentucky on Saturday night.

They jammed the atrium to welcome the team back to its hotel, making for some pretty cool pictures shortly after 1 a.m.
