K-State head coach Jerome Tang gets his first shot to beat the Kansas Jayhawks on Tuesday night in the Sunflower Showdown. His team no-showed against TCU on Saturday, losing 82-68. Not an opportune time to play your worst basketball of the season with KU coming up next. We will see if that game was an anomaly on an otherwise great season thus far and if they can quickly snap out of their funk. Since 1990, K-State has beaten Kansas in…

They rattled off 35 consecutive points to take a 35 to 10 lead and the rout was on. There really isn’t much to break down in this game, as the Crimson Tide dominated for most of the game.
