A fight broke out at the end of Kansas’ home victory over Kansas State Tuesday night, with a benches-clearing brawl creating a scary scene at Phog Allen Fieldhouse.
With Kansas State down 21 points as the clock was expiring, Wildcats freshman guard DeJuan Gordon stole the ball and went in for a layup. Kansas big man Silvio De Sousa emphatically blocked his layup attempted, and started trash talking to him as he laid on the floor. That’s when the mayhem started.
Here’s the full video, from ESPN:
Here’s another angle of what was going on inside of the brawl:
And another angle of the fight:
De Sousa had a stool in his hands and looked ready to swing it at the height of the brawl when someone snatched it away from him:
This photo of De Sousa getting ready to swing the stool is surreal. Both teams are lucky someone wasn’t seriously injured:
The photographs from the brawl are as frightening as they are incredible. Here are a few of the best from Getty:
The referees put one second back on the clock after clearing the scene and made the players finish out the game.
Kansas coach Bill Self gave the following statements after the game:
Bill Self says, "I know we were in the wrong" in terms of the KU-KSU melee. "That was an embarrassment in our part for the role that we played in it." Self says there will be consequences he's handing down tomorrow.

Bill Self on what he thought of K-State's actions: Not sure it's the right thing to do, but he doesn't place any blame on Gordon for taking De Sousa's ball. De Sousa should be mature enough to handle whatever's thrown at him.

Bill Self noted the KU-KSU melee spilled over to the handicap session. Took a moment to compose himself thinking about that. "At least if you're going to do something, at least take it on the court or whatever. It's ridiculous that they would go into the stands."
