DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — University of Dayton students are
becoming known for their rowdy street parties celebrating the latest
basketball win — and Thursday night was no exception.
After
hundreds of students showed up at UD Arena to watch the Flyers beat
Stanford on big screens, thousands thronged the streets around campus to
celebrate the team’s first NCAA Elite Eight appearance in three
decades.
Police said some bottles and cans were thrown at police
in riot gear trying to disperse the dancing and screaming crowds. Dayton
police reported 28 arrests on campus.
The Dayton Daily News
reports that emergency crews responded to a roof collapse on a porch
near campus, but there were no details about injuries.
The Flyers will play the University of Florida in the next round of the tournament on Saturday.
