Self apologizes for Greene’s exclamation point
Kansas coach Bill Self was unhappy about the way his team’s 77-59 victory against Kansas State ended.
The game appeared as though it would end 75-59. The Jayhawks possessed the ball, the shot clock was off and they had no reason to attempt a shot. But Brannen Greene drove to the basket and dunked with one second remaining.
“That was probably the biggest (expletive) move I’ve ever had a player do during a game,” Self said during his postgame radio interview. “To dunk the ball like that when the other team – even their players are going, ‘How disrespectful to the game.’
“It certainly showed unbelievable poor sportsmanship.”
Self also opened his postgame news conference by apologizing to K-State, calling the incident “totally classless.”
Greene was suspended by Self for five games earlier this season.
K-State coach Bruce Weber had little to say about the dunk, saying it was a Kansas deal.
Stokes out for season
K-State will have to play the rest of the season without its starting point guard. Weber said Wednesday that Stokes will have a surgical procedure on his injured right knee on Thursday.
Stokes didn’t play against Kansas after injuring his knee against Mississippi. He was missed.
Weber hopes K-State can respond without him.
“I don’t think they have a choice. Do they?” Weber said. “Some miracle that he could come back? They don’t have a choice. They are going to have to. It’s an opportunity for Carlbe (Ervin) and Barry (Brown).”
