Upon further review, even Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self acknowledged Thursday that his team caught a break when game officials missed a travelling call on Jayhawks’ guard Svi Mykhailiuk as he drove for a buzzer-beating basket in Tuesday’s game in Lawrence, Kan.
“It looked like he took extra steps. There’s no question about that,” Self said during Thursday’s conference call with Big 12 basketball coaches. “I don’t disagree with anyone with a Kansas State perspective that might be upset about that.”
The non-call prevented the game from going into overtime and comes during a season with game officials have been asked to crack down on travelling violations in college basketball.
