UConn Takes Precautions Against Post-Game Mayhem Ahead of Final Four

The University of Connecticut has removed light poles from its campus to prevent damage during celebrations for the Final Four.

UConn has both its men's and women's basketball teams in the Final Four, prompting the university to take preventive measures against potential celebration damages.
Last year's championship win led to students causing damage by ripping light poles out of the ground and using them destructively.
The university has replaced removed light poles with wall lights to ensure safety without compromising illumination.
Alcohol will not be served at the on-campus arena where watch parties for the Final Four are planned, limiting attendance to UConn students.
This marks the fifth time UConn has placed both its men's and women's teams in the Final Four simultaneously, with both teams aiming for national titles.
