Armed with a dozen or so signs, Kansas State’s loud, energetic student body appeared primed to make life miserable for rival Kansas on Monday night at Bramlage Coliseum.
“It can get real crazy here,” KU senior guard Devonté Graham said of the Octagon of Doom, where he and fellow senior Svi Mykhailiuk took a 2-1 career record into their career finale in Manhattan.
“We did a good job jumping on ’em, getting that early lead, keeping them not as crazy as they usually get,” Graham added after scoring 16 points and dishing out 11 assists against three turnovers while playing his usual 40 minutes in a 70-56 victory over the Wildcats.
