SPOKANE, Wash. — After Gonzaga beat UCLA to advance to the NCAA championship on a Jalen Suggs buzzer beater, Bulldog fans took to the streets to celebrate.
At one celebration, fans set six couches on fire and damaged a street sign on North Dakota Street.
Spokane police said there were no arrests made in correlation with the festivities. There were large crowds, which increased difficulty for the Spokane Fire Department to extinguish the flames.
After the Gonzaga win against USC on March 30, there was a similar incident. There was one couch burned in a post-game celebration. Spokane police said about 400 students gathered for that event.
A video taken by Shaun Aryon and shared with KREM showed the large gatherings and the couch on fire. Gonzaga University President Thayne McCulloh tweeted to the fans about celebrating responsibly after the USC game.
