Wildcat fans’ recent accustomedness to beating their rivals, the Kansas Jayhawks, and storming the court of Bramlage Coliseum over the past two years came to an end on Feb. 20, 2016, as the Wildcats fell 63-72 to the Jayhawks. The Cats led the Jayhawks for most of the first half before succumbing to a KU run and going into the break down 10 points. Despite nearly pulling themselves out of that hole amidst a well-timed blaring of “Sandstorm,” to the delight of K-State students, the Wildcats ran out of time to close the gap. Beefed up security and social media chatter regarding K-State’s ban of court storming, put in place following an incident after the Wildcats’ victory in last year’s Sunflower Showdown, became unnecessary as it became evident there would be no court storming this time.
