A massive brawl erupted at the end of the Kansas-Kansas State basketball game yesterday that’s sure to have massive ramifications for both teams:
Uh. What in the hell just happened in the Kansas-Kansas State game?! That's as nasty of a brawl as you'll see in college hoops.

In my 40 yrs @espn the fight at the Kansas State & Kansas game was as bad as it gets. So sad & embarrassing for a program rich in tradition . The @Big12Conference MUST COME DOWN HEAVY ON THOSE heavily involved .

Kansas’ Silvio De Sousa picked up a chair during the fight but it looks like someone grabbed it from him before he could throw it:

He should thank the person who grabbed it:

Overkill?
Honestly I just wonder why Seth Greenberg instinctively criminalized Silvio De Sousa for an unexceptional basketball fight. Not condoning it. It was unexpected and uncalled for, but not at all a crime.

Check out the Kansas mascot:
There's so much to unpack in the Kansas K-State brawl but we should take a moment to appreciate the Jayhawk staying in character to solemnly cover his mascot eyes and look away because he can't bear to watch pic.twitter.com/1Z4RFDI7KH

Discipline to come:
