Several students have been kicked out by the University of Connecticut after being arrested for vandalising the campus after the school's NCAA men's basketball tournament triumph.
UConn won the fifth championship in its history on April 3, with the Huskies defeating San Diego State to spark wild scenes on campus in Storrs. Sixteen students were taken to hospital for treatment – including one who was knocked out cold by a falling lamp post – and 15 people were arrested, with further arrests being made in the weeks following the chaos.
The people arrested were accused of breaking windows, damaging a police car, flipping a vehicle and vandalising lamp posts, according to The Hartford Courant, with some of them also charged with rioting.
