“My team got robbed in Lawrence.”
It’s a familiar phrase you’ll hear from fanbases all over the Big 12 just about as often as the University of Kansas hosts basketball games, but it’s not always factual.
Kansas is an elite, blueblood hoops program that boasts Allen Fieldhouse, one of the toughest home arenas on the map. So winning in Lawrence is hard.
But in 1999, when Oklahoma State traveled to Lawrence for KU’s Senior Night, its fanbase had plenty a reason to cry, “Thief!”
When that crowd gets in the game, sometimes you almost think the referees are leading the fast break.
