MANHATTAN- Prior to Saturday’s 5p.m. Sunflower Showdown with the #2 Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State University has issued a video on how to treat guests with class.
Last season, KSU Athletic Director John Currie apologized to KU officials for students storming the court after the game in Bramlage Coliseum and Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby publicly reprimanded Kansas State.
No injuries resulted from the court-storming.
In May, the Big 12 Conference passed a measure under which schools could face fines or even the loss of future home games for failing to control fans who storm courts or rush fields after games.
Kansas State has 4 wins at Bramlage Coliseum against Kansas in the last 8 meetings, including back-to-back victories in 2014 and 2015. The Wildcats have not won 3 straight at home in the series since 1981-83 (4 wins).
The rivalry ranks as the 8th-longest continuously played in the country (met every season since 1921) with the 6th-most games played (282). The Jayhawks lead the series, 189-93, including 75-47 in Manhattan.
