MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Sure as the celebration launched by a rush of humanity that flooded the court as the seconds ticked away Tuesday night on Kansas State's 74-67 win over Kansas, the Jayhawks' remarkable streak of Big 12 dominance is in danger.
This sixth KU loss in seven true road games felt different than the others. Different than the rout at the hands of Iowa State and the late lead inexplicably blown at West Virginia.
It felt different because Kansas can always -- well, almost always -- count on righting its wrongs against rival K-State. Not on this night, which marked the first win for Kansas State over KU in nearly four years and just its fifth ever in 31 games at Bramlage Coliseum.
