I’ve been to many games at venues around the world. I consider Kansas basketball fans among the most knowledgeable and first class anywhere. You may remember when the Allen Fieldhouse fans applauded Buddy Hield’s 46 point effort in a triple overtime loss. If I remember correctly, fans sent rival Gorges Niang of Iowa State to the bench with a round of applause in his final appearance at Allen Fieldhouse.
As a matter of fact, you won’t see fans in Riley County do something similar. However, that is not my point. I am amazed at the respect for Kansas basketball coach Bill Self shown by Iowa State this week.
