"UConn's Precautionary Measures for 2023 Title Game Vandalism"

The University of Connecticut has implemented precautions to prevent a repeat of the violence and vandalism that followed the school's 2023 NCAA men's basketball championship, including removing aluminum light posts, limiting the size of campus watch parties, and increasing safety presence with university, state, and local police coordination. These measures come after 39 people were arrested and 16 were injured during the celebrations last year, prompting the expulsion of six students. Despite these precautions, watch parties during the men's and women's Final Four games did not report any major problems.
