The Kansas State Wildcats found themselves on the ugly side of history against the No. 23 Kansas Jayhawks in the second edition of the 2020-2021 Sunflower Showdown Wednesday night, as they lost 59-41.
The previous low point total for K-State (5-18, 1-13 Big 12) in Bramlage Coliseum was 42, in a 2006 game against Nebraska during Jim Wooldridge’s last season as head coach. The record could have fallen by a wider margin than one, frankly. The Wildcats only scored 35 points when they were trying to win the game. The final six tallies came courtesy of three-point baskets by reserves Joe Petrakis and Carlton Linguard in the last 1:04 of white-flag game time.
