Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts told The Associated Press on Sunday that several hundred officers will be out in force on Monday to help keep order.
Police plan a few adjustments from Saturday, when thousands of fans spilled onto streets after Kentucky defeated cross-state rival Louisville in New Orleans. Fans overturned cars and torched couches.
Roberts said police did a good job of getting rowdy fans under control. Officers arrested 27 people on minor charges such as disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication.
Police had braced for the possibility of post-game violence Saturday and resorted to pepper spray, though large amounts weren't needed before they ultimately began dispersing the throngs.
