Everyone deals with losses differently.

Some fans choose to drink, others elect to eat excessively, and the new thing seems to binge-watch shows on Netflix. But a group of Kentucky fans tried something a bit different after Sunday’s 75-73 loss in the Elite 8 round to UNC.

They burned a television set outside a house, with 100+ fans watching.

Shirts were burned as well.

Police quickly came in to break everything up, though, and the fire was put out as quickly as it was started.
