This time, it was an 81-73 defeat to an 11-11 Kansas State team in a game the Jayhawks were supposed to win. That makes three losses in the last five Big 12 games. A team that started the season as the preseason No.

That moment, perhaps more than any other, summed up the Wildcats’ 81-73 victory over the Jayhawks in this Sunflower Showdown rivalry game. K-State turned back the clock as if Beasley and Barry Brown, who was also in the house, were still wearing purple.
