The wildcats holding the trophy high in houston and were all still catching our breath around here after a buzzer beater 3pointer put villanova over North Carolina 7774.

Reporter and back here live at the pavilion youre taking a look at a picture inside the main entrance of the 1985 villanova Wildcats National Championship team. That was 31 years ago. Looks like its time to start decorating a new wall. Were live on villanovas campus, Katherine Scott channel6 action news. A happy job to have there katherine. Well, lets go over now to Annie Mccormick. Shes got more on the fan celebration and how police handled the crowds. I think theyre going to be partying all the way through next week, annie. Reporter oh, definitely, definitely. Imagine how we were reacting at home or in the bars when we saw those final moments of the games. Well, there are thousands of students inside of the pavilion that jumped out of their seats, screaming for joy and then filled the streets around villanova. But police, plenty of police were on hand to make sure that that pear the didnt get too out of hands. There were three arrests about 22 people were injured. They tell that you say most of those injuries were due to intoxication. Thousands spilled out onto lancaster avenue following the historic win. Radnor Township Police got assistance from multiple local, state and federal agencies to man the crowds. Students climbed light poles, raised flags and even started several small fires as they cleared in the streets. Mounted units quickly came through and officers extinguished the fires and dispersed the crowds. It was all under the watchful eye of authorities. Radnor police had a command center set up where they monitored cameras on the campus. For the most part, students excitement did not get out of hand. Those who packed the pavilion for the watch party got the feeling they were actually at the game in houston and in those final heart pumping seconds when the wildcats clinchd the National Title clears inside before they hit the street. This is like the best day of my life. I honestly didnt think it would come true and those last four seconds i was praying that he would make the basket and god answered my prayers. Reporter god answered a lot of prayers here on villanova universitys campus last night. Well, taking a look herein sides you can see all those trophies. Were assuming that that is where the new ncaa trophy will go once the wildcats do return home. They are expected to when they do come home theyre expected to come back to a big crowd probably filling up this entire area here. Many people probably wearing those championship tshirts.

But if youre celebrating out there today, you might want to bundle up. Yeah, extra gear on the hands, the head, everything, right. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now shows us that we are not totally precipitation free as we take a two dimensional view you can see there are a couple of light snow showers popping down from the north and if i go in tighter, one of them is right around parts of philadelphia and Delaware County now. We have reports from social media and some indication on our Traffic Cameras that in most cases this just sort of a light to moderate flurry thats coming down but if you do happen to see one of these little brighter pieces of white hit, you know, it is below freezing and its not out of the question that you wind up with a slight slick spot but if i think most cases youre probably okay.

Winds out of the north at 17 miles an hour. 29 in allentown, you can sub tractor roughly 10 degrees from them to get what it actually feels like good itch that wind dropping down out of the north.
