The Wildcats save their best...for not this game.
And so the Big 12 Tournament ends the same way it has many times before. Another humiliating loss to the Jayhawks sent the Cats home Thursday afternoon to await the news of a possible post-season berth.
The third edition of the Sunflower Showdown may have been the most dominant performance by Kansas against K-State away from Allen Fieldhouse in several years. The Jayhawks led basically from horn to horn, and clearly out-matched the young Wildcats all afternoon.
The only positives that can be gleaned from Thursday afternoon's game is that K-State has finally, after several decades, seen the last of Perry Ellis.
