Kentucky fans torch couches

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Fans set couches on fire and flipped cars around the University of Kentucky campus after the Wildcats beat cross-state rival Louisville 69-61 in the first game of the Final Four.

Screaming, chanting fans swarmed the streets following the win Saturday evening. Many streets had already been blocked off around Kentucky's campus to make way for the crowds, but sirens blared and police began shutting down more streets as the blazes broke out.

Police reported at least a dozen couch fires in neighborhoods around campus last week after Kentucky's win over Baylor.
