Had it counted, perhaps Barry Brown’s dunk at the end of Kansas State’s 74-67 straitjacketing of Kansas on Tuesday at Bramlage Coliseum would have embodied a night the script was flipped.
The gesture had some resonance, anyway, intended as a turnabout homage of sorts to a particularly low point in K-State’s eight-game losing streak to KU — the rival that Brown and fellow seniors Dean Wade and Kamau Stokes had never beaten.
“Shoutout Brannen Greene,” Brown said, laughing, referring to Greene’s dunk at the end of KU’s 77-59 romp over the Wildcats in 2016.
But it would be tough for K-State to proclaim a highlight of a play that that was ruled after the buzzer, and the truth is the pinnacle was delivered about 48 seconds before.
