Video: Wisconsin fan climbs into streetlight and jumps into riotous crowd after NCAA basketball final defeat

Quite the fall

American sports fans are becoming increasingly boisterous after big defeats and this year’s NCAA basketball finals have been no different

Kentucky fans started streetfires after their semi-final loss to Wisconsin and Badgers fans also took to the streets following their final loss to Duke last night.

Five people were arrested on Madison’s State Street, and we expect this lunatic was probably one of them, after he jumped down to the pavement from the top of a streetlight.

Post-victory riots have also become somewhat en vogue, and Duke fans took to starting a celebratory bonfire of the benches, a university tradition after each NCAA title.
