Dayton upset Syracuse in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night.
It's the school's first Sweet 16 appearance since 1984.
A wild scene erupted on campus after the win, and riot police were dispatched to control the crowd. The most unlikely reveler — school president Dr. Daniel J. Curran.
Curran crowd-surfed down Kiefaber Street as students tried to pass him beers and chanted, "Doc-tor Dan! Doc-tor Dan!"
The video is pretty great:
He was ecstatic:

— Deadspin (@Deadspin) March 23, 2014It was a relatively good-natured celebration. There were only eight arrests, WDTN reports, which is significantly fewer than the 100 arrests at the school on St. Patrick's Day.
Well done, Dr. Dan.
