Stormin’ no more
Kansas State’s security team left nothing to chance Saturday.
The university issued several warnings before and during the game to fans on the public-address system, informing them fans were not allowed on the court at any time. Anyone that violated that rule would be subject to prosecution.
Security also lined the court during the game’s final minute to discourage any fan from attempting to rush the floor. Extra security entered the court to protect players and coaches during the postgame handshake line, and a guard accompanied Iowa State Fred Hoiberg into the locker room.
No fans rushed the floor. The moves were in response to the court-storming that followed K-State’s victory over Kansas at Bramlage Coliseum, including a bump of KU’s Jamari Traylor by a K-State student.
Senior legacy
Thomas Gipson and Nino Williams played their final regular-season games at Bramlage Coliseum. Gipson had eight points and nine rebounds, while Williams had six points and four rebounds. Bruce Weber thanked both seniors for their hard work.
“Neither one has the physical gifts, but they have made the most of what they have,” Weber said. “That is the biggest thing.”
