It’s still not so much a riot, but more an uprising in celebration in Lexington on Saturday evening. The Kentucky Wildcats’ win over Louisville in the Final Four sparked somewhat of a street party, but there has been some damage as a result. The “riot,” or whatever it is, has been taking place on State Street, where crowds have gathered following the win.
Kentucky Fans Not Quite Rioting, Instead Disturbing Peace On State Street
This paints a pretty good picture of what's going on.
a guy in front of me got pepper sprayed so he poured beer in his eyes. And now hes crying on the side walk #statestreet

There are a few cars flipped over and at least one with its windows bashed out, as well.
And a few fires, too.

But, again, most of the crowds are confined to one small area. And when fans pour out of bars and onto the street following a big Final Four win over a hated rival, there’s bound to be some kind of disturbance.
