Thanks to Aaron Harrison’s late-game heroics, Kentucky punched its ticket to the school’s 12th NCAA Tournament Championship Game. Students in Lexington celebrated this achievement with fire, lots and lots of fire.

The Herald-Leader reports over 60 fires were extinguished by 3 a.m. Sunday. Thirty people were treated for injuries. Arrest figures haven’t been totaled, yet.

Two men just fell from a tree, but they climbed back up. Too much alcohol. They can't feel anything. #BBN #LexStreets pic.twitter.com/TcKsgFdX5S

Fans are starting fires with anything, including boxes & hats. They chanted "F*** UConn" over a fire #LexStreets #BBN pic.twitter.com/VVZ0mi6Pst

This quick Vine from @lashy probably sums it all up.

It would appear the urge to celebrate outweiged the urge to “act like you’ve been there before.”
