The close game between the Arizona Wildcats and Wisconsin Badgers Saturday night left many University of Arizona fans in a state of shock and disappointment. The NCAA tournament is one of the most exciting annual events in sports and watching the single elimination games with a crowd at a bar is a common sight. As crowds get rowdy and drunk, however, a disappointing loss or nail-biting win can result in some dangerous and disorderly rioting. That is exactly what happened in Tucson Saturday night after the Wildcats lost the game in overtime. Students and Wildcat fans, already pumped up for the close game, became the proverbial angry mob, leading to police in riot gear, firing pellet guns and tear gas and making arrests. Rioting is a dangerous and illegal activity, and is a prime example of a situation that could result in a Phoenix disorderly conduct charge or Phoenix assault charge.
