One day, Kansas State will beat Kansas in a postseason tournament game again.
Nothing lasts forever, after all, even if it seems like an eternity already since it last happened … 25 years and 13 chances ago after KU’s 83-67 win in a Big 12 Tournament semifinal on Friday night at the Sprint Center.
Only a day before, this one had looked like a fertile opportunity for the Wildcats against the top-seeded Jayhawks, who theoretically were going to be vulnerable without injured center Udoka Azubuike.
That advantage was promptly neutralized by All-Big 12 forward Dean Wade’s foot injury, though, announced Friday.
