UCLA students took to the rooftops and streets around campus Tuesday night to celebrate the Bruins reaching the Final Four of the NCAA men's basketball tournament for the first time since 2008.
Couches were pulled out into streets and set on fire in the school's fraternity row and a large crowd of students gathered on top of a dormitory building near Strathmore Place and Landfair Avenue to honor UCLA's 51-49 victory over top-seeded Michigan in the East Regional final.
UCLA is back in the Final Four, and fans in Westwood celebrated. Michelle Valles reports for Today in LA on Wednesday March 31, 2021.
