WILD RIVALRY ENDING! #2 Kansas at #13 Kansas State | January 17, 2023

Kansas State took its remarkable turnaround season to new heights on Tuesday as the No. 13 Wildcats upset No. 2 Kansas 83-82 in overtime at Bramlage Coliseum. The outcome snapped a seven-game losing streak for K-State in the Sunflower Showdown as first-year coach Jerome Tang's squad improved to 16-2 (5-1 Big 12) in his first taste of the in-state rivalry.
Wildcats wing Keyontae Johnson caught a lob from Markquis Nowell and flushed it for a dunk with 25 seconds left to put K-State ahead. With a chance to tie or take the lead in the final seconds on the ensuing possession, Kansas committed a game-ending turnover. Moments later, Kansas State students stormed the court to celebrate a monumental victory for a program coming off three consecutive losing seasons prior to Tang's arrival.
The win was particularly impressive because it came on a quiet night for star point guard Markquis Nowell, who scored a season-low four points. Former Arkansas and Arkansas State guard Desi Sills stepped up with a season-high 24 off the bench, and Johnson added 24 as well.
None were more important for Johnson and the Wildcats, however, than his highlight-reel flush in the final minute, especially since it came over Kansas star Jalen Wilson, who scored a career-high 38 points in a losing effort. Wilson scored eight of KU's 10 points in the overtime period but could not will his team to victory in a thrilling rivalry showdown.

Greatest non march madness game I’ve ever watched

It's nice to see this rivalry get some of its juice back!

KU has a 108 game advantage. i’d hardly call it a rivalry

[@zackhohman17yearsago92]

Well kstate won soooo.....

[@collinwerner7530]

@@zackhohman17yearsago92 KU considers mizzou as their rival. ksu considers KU as theirs. winning one game doesn’t make it a rivalry

[@zackhohman17yearsago92]

I think if you asked the majority of KU fans who their main rival was they would say kstate

[@coreyrowe4119]

@@collinwerner7530 the long standing history of playing each other for 100+ years uninterrupted is what makes it a rivalry. There's a lot of familiarity and hatred that builds up when 2 teams have been playing each other that long. That doesn't go away just because one team has generally had the upper hand for a long period of time. Is the annual KU vs KSU football series not a rivalry anymore either just because KSU has won that game 14 years in a row? I'm pretty sure everyone with KU football would say KSU is still their biggest rival even tho KU hasn't beaten them since 2008.

Don't understand the time out

[@sydoesgames]

bill self cost his team the game. you never call a timeout when your player could get a good shot

[@elijahfoster2]

And then you have to inbound it... I really don't get it either.

[@meyerfamily7187]

Excuses 😂😂😂

[@MrWils25]

He was calling the timeout prior to the shot and there’s no coach better at setting up an inbounds play that scores.

[@charliestaats1655]

What was the total number of fouls and how many players were fouled out on each team? That is the story of this game. The officials played a larger part in this game than did either team.

[@cadenhecker4824]

49 fouls total 3 ku starters fouled out not sure about k state
