Over the years, I’ve heard K-State fans whine about how Bill Self recruits thugs to Kansas and Jamari Traylor hasn’t escaped that label by Wildcat fans.
Last night, KSU won their National Championship by beating KU. The win will look good on their NIT resume so it was time to celebrate. I’m sure a DVD and T-shirt will be available later today.
And like every other school that has beaten KU, the fans stormed the court. But this was not your typical court storming. This got ugly and a “celebration” turned into a cheap shot contest.
Once the final buzzer hit zero, the fans stormed the court and it got so bad that Bill Self got pinned to the scorers table. But even worse was the cheap shot that Jamari Traylor received as he was leaving the court.
Here is the video:
Nobody outside of Perry Ellis or Kelly Oubre played that well but I’d like to go ahead and give the game ball to Jamari Traylor. As you can see, the coward that popped Jamari Traylor in the back was probably a foot smaller than Traylor and probably weighed as much as one of Traylor’s biceps. It would’ve been easy for Traylor to retaliate, especially after a frustrating loss.
But nope. Traylor was the bigger man and walked away. Thankfully, Assistant Coach Kurtis Townsend witnessed the attack and promptly put the idiot in a head lock. Nice work Coach!
KSU fans have been quick to point out that KU fans rushed the field after we beat Iowa State this year. And yes, I wasn’t a big fan of storming the field but you know, KU fans didn’t take cheap shots at ISU players. Additionally, football players are huge men with pads and helmets on, not to mention a 100 yard field to escape.
On a small basketball court, KU players and coaches diodn’t have any room to escape and something needs to be done before something tragic happens. Security measures need to beef up next year when KU goes to Manhattan but I seriously doubt it.
Remember, this is the same administration that told their racist students to “tone down” the derogatory comments on a student message board when their basketball players were protesting police brutality. Tone it down, huh? How about stop it completely?!
Regardless of the disappointing outcome, I was proud of the way our players handled themselves after the game. It must’ve been tough to hold back from cheap shots by K-State student thugs.
