Riots in the title celebration resulted in "about $122,800" worth of damages, school officials said on Tuesday. The riots consisted mostly of students which CT Insider says set fires, flipped a vehicle on its side and knocked over light poles.

One of the poles was also used to break into a building. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM General view of the UConn Huskies logo on a pair of game shorts during the college basketball against Providence Friars on January 4, 2023, at Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI. (M.

"Although we can't address individual students' outcomes, we can say that some reviews have concluded with expulsions," UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz said at the time.
