It was a wild scene in Lubbock, Texas after the Red Raiders beat Michigan State in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament to advance to the national championship game on Monday.
After the game, Tech fans in Lubock went crazy and took to the streets to set things on fire.

Eventually police put an end to the festivities by using tear gas to get the crowd to disperse.
LPD is asking people in the Broadway area near Texas Tech to leave. We have multiple officers in the area working to clear the streets.
