{Lexington, Kentucky}...Player of the year Anthony Davis helped keep Kentucky in the game, scoring 18 points and 14 rebounds as the Wildcats held off Louisville 69-61 Saturday night in New Orleans. Louisville rallied from a 13-point deficit, tying the game at 49 on a 3-pointer from Peyton Siva with 9:11 to play. But, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who played sparingly because of foul trouble, made back-to-back buckets to give the Wildcats some breathing room. Darius Miller then made a 3, Kentucky’s second of the game. Thousands of University of Kentucky fans swarmed streets near the University of Kentucky campus, setting couches and a car on fire, after the Wildcats beat Louisville in the Final Four. Police armed in riot gear patrolled the party areas, and sprayed fire extinguishers on fans who attempted to damage vehicles. UK and Lexington Police, expecting a rowdy night, had increased patrols on campus and prepared to close streets in party areas. A triage center was opened at a fire station on Woodland Avenue. A spokeswoman for Lexington Mayor Susan Straub says police made fewer than 10 arrests.
