STORRS, Conn. – Jubilant fans celebrating UConn's Monday night national basketball championship win smashed a window in an engineering building, broke street lights and overturned furniture inside the school's student union.
Campus police had made 30 arrests by 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, while state police had made others and more were expected, said University of Connecticut spokesman Tom Breen.
"A lot of it was alcohol-related," Breen said. "There was breech of peace, destruction of property, and we had a fireworks charge."
Most of the property damage was minor, he said.
No serious injuries had been reported.
"By far, most of our students have conducted themselves safely and responsibly," UConn Police Chief Barbara O'Connor said.
More than 10,000 UConn students shook the stands inside Gampel Pavilion, erupted in cheers and stormed the arena floor as the Huskies beat Kentucky 60-54 in the NCAA title game, giving the program its fourth national championship, and second in four years.

It’s not a real party unless they turn over a city bus and light it on fire.
I guess that state likes gun control more than crowd control.
Couch fires in Lexington? It must have been easy to grab them off the front porches and out of the yards.
Maybe they rioted because they go to bed starving because they pay their own way?
Good one.
And the value of a college degree is ... ?
Was peace born butt first? Maybe "breach of peace" instead.
A while back someone on here got after me because the only reason I went to college was because of the expectation of higher earning potential. I was told I missed the whole point of “higher education”.
I never responded, but the only other reason I could think of was “party and sex”. You go to college
1. In the hopes of more income potential in the future
and/or
2. To party and have sex on your parents’ dime.
I didn’t do #2. To suggest there was another reason for college, such as to learn logical and rational thought, that person obviously never attended college. I’m conservative and a thinker independent of college.
UConn - a drinking school with a basketball problem . I oughta know lol .
College Football and Basketball are racist! Should be a least 4 white boys and one black. No asians a or hispanics allowed.
