The UConn Huskies won the NCAA men’s national championship for the first time since 2014 on Monday night, and the celebrations got out of hand after 15 people were charged and 16 were hospitalized, according to WSFB Channel 3 Eyewitness News in Connecticut.
Most of the people arrested were UConn students, school spokesperson Stephanie Reitz told WSFB.
“A small number chose to risk their safety and that of others by vandalizing or destroying property after the game,” Reitz told the news outlet. “UConn Police will investigate the vandalism and other potential criminal offenses that occurred. Those responsible will face arrest and, if they are students, sanctions up to and including expulsion.”
