The No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 62-58 in Manhattan on Saturday and that alone felt like a win for both teams.

It was the first meeting between the two in-state rivals since a skirmish escalated into an all-out brawl in the stands during the final seconds of their first game back in January. The Jayhawks were on their way to an 81-60 victory when forward Silvio De Sousa blocked a KSU shot at the buzzer, which led to punches thrown by both teams.

De Sousa, who was seen momentarily holding a stool over his head during the fight, was suspended 12 games for his role in the altercation.
