Thirty-one people were arrested after Kentucky fans set fires in Lexington, police said, after the Wildcats' undefeated streak came to a stunning end at the hands of Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament Saturday.

Sporadic fires were seen being set as the large crowd, chanting anti-Wisconsin slogans, gathered on State Street, which is adjacent to the University of Kentucky's Lexington Campus.

Lexington Police Department spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said the crowd set fire to multiple objects, while a number of people were injured — some of whom were transported to a local hospital for treatment. None of the injuries were serious, Roberts said.

Looks like they had to work quite hard to get the “right photos” into the story.

I highly resent being called a white cheddar eating mofo. I strictly eat yellow cheddar. Could you pass me the crackers and mustard please?

As I watched the game...especially the officiating in the 2nd half...I was convinced that my initial assessment was correct...that NCAA wanted a Duke vs. Kentucky final and that Wisconsin would not be allowed to prevail for being 'too white'.

I was very glad to see them win and see myself proven wrong. But it does seem as if TPTB tried.

I honestly had no idea that it was that basketball tournament month to be honest.

I bowed out of team sports years ago because I dont need one more thing to get stressed about.

It is a truly sad situation in our PC society that racial animosity infects most everything now.

Calipari is excellent at coaching height. Designing plays, well, not so good.
