The UConn men's basketball team set off celebrations on campus with its 75-60 victory over Purdue to clinch back-to-back national championships on Monday, although those celebrations reportedly led to some arrests.

According to Jane Caffrey of NBC Connecticut, UConn police arrested six people during Monday's celebrations. That total is much lower than the 30 arrests they made after last season's title-game win over San Diego State.

Although law enforcement made its presence known, there were still some light posts torn down and street signs torn out of the ground. Most notably, some who were celebrating threw one of the signs through a window at the campus rec center.
