- 5 years ago
In Arizona, 15 protesters were arrested during a student riot after the University of Arizona lost to Wisconsin in overtime in the NCAA regional finals. Tucson police said they fired pepper spray at several hundred University of Arizona fans when they took to the streets after their team lost to the University of Wisconsin, 64-63. Police said the students threw beer bottles and firecrackers at officers. One fan even had smoke bombs thrown at him as he stood in front of police. Fourteen of those arrested were later released. -- Mornings @ ANC, March 31, 2014.
