The Kansas Jayhawks defeated Kansas State 81-60 in Tuesday nights Sunflower showdown. But it was not the finish either team wanted, the game ended with a brawl.
Silvio De Sousa was stripped by the Wildcats’ DaJuan Gordon near midcourt and Gordon tried to go in for a layup. The Jayhawks’ big man recovered and blocked his shot, sending Gordon to the floor, then stood over him. That triggered benches to empty and punches to be thrown.
It took both coaching staffs and security to separate the teams. Then, adding to the bizarre finish, both teams were summoned back from the locker rooms by officials and one-tenth of a second was put on the clock.
