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.

It was a good game, versus those ready to Crown Wisconsin with the Championship, Wisconsin really has their work cut out for them.
They have to watch out for the let down after such a big win and Duke has experience.
Make no mistake about it, I’m for the Badgers. It will be interesting.
If you seriously believe that the Kentucky basketball team is made up of “students”, I have a bridge you may be interested in purchasing.
Please explain. I thought that you had to be a student at college to play college basketball. Is that not the case?
I would also like to think that academics comes before sports. So if the students are not maintaining good grades, they are not allowed to practice with the team or play in the games. Because academics are the main reason for colleges to exist.
Am I being naive?
The one guy has a red shirt on, hmmn.
Oh well, as I heard one commentator said, it might be worse to shake hands as about half of the Kentucky team did. There’s a bit of leeway on all this, obviously, the players and coach’s hearts were broken.
On the other hand, Coach Izzo of MSU was rather gracious in defeat. He may have thought they were fortunate to get to the final four.
All of this crap over a moronic basketball game. Americans really deserve what is in their future.

I believe Ky has more than there share of “one and done” Freshman Carpetbaggers going to the NBA this year. Not much studying or classroom attendance required to stay eligible for one semester of College.
I always wonder why the riots over a sports contest where you were no more than an observer.
Bread and circuses for the masses. Stupid college kids think that a basketball GAME actually has much great significance.
They should be rioting over the destruction of our Constitution and culture if the want to have properly directed anger.
Amish look different somehow. Maybe it’s because they are all wearing blue.
Your comment is in quotations, but I haven’t seen it posted anywhere? Who are you quoting?
My comments in quotes are made up by me. That’s me mocking the thug/ghetto lifestyle.
Oh. Them. Yeah. Got it.
