Not to Make Too Much of the Interstate Rivalry, But…

I couldn’t help but notice that K-State just lost to (ahem) Nebraska. Guess that big 100-63 revenge victory over Mizzou on Saturday just took it all of out the Wildkitties.
Meow.
Michael Beasley, who scored 40 points against the Tigers, humbly predicted scoring 50 points on “these cats,” (referring to the Cornhuskers, presumably, and not to his own team). Well, he didn’t quite get there. The ‘Huskers held him to a modest (for him) 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Which, despite the ‘Cats third road loss in a row, earned Beasley the honor of a tie with Carmelo Anthony’s NCAA freshman record of 22 double doubles. Not that I like giving props to anything K-State related, but Beasley’s the real deal, and K-State is only a pit stop on his way to the big show. Or have I mentioned that before?
Anyway, Nebraska kept K-State out of rhythm all night, and when Beasley missed a three-point shot in the final second of the game, guess what happened?
Bingo! Ecstatic fans not used to big wins STORMED THE COURT.
But I think the players kept their clothes on. . .
