Kentucky Fans Started Burning Things After Loss To North Carolina
Kentucky fans are apparently not taking the team’s 75-73 Elite Eight loss to North Carolina well. On Sunday, shortly after the game ended, fans and students in and around Lexington began congregating in the streets and, well…they started setting things on fire.
It was all documented on Twitter:
Girl on #StateStreet just said "I just wanted to storm the street ... I got drunk for no reason." #BBN

Some are coming, some are going. The crowd in the street is growing a little, but it's mostly from people emptying out of houses. pic.twitter.com/EVdU9es4GY
