Tuesday night was full of heartbreak for K-State fans after Kansas’ “Svi” Mykhailiuk hit the game-winning layup as time expired. The problem, though, was Mykailiuk appeared to travel, but not to the referee following behind him.
In honor of what some now call “Walk Chalk,” the no-call travel on the game-winning layup in the Jayhawks’ 90-88 victory over the Wildcats in Allen Fieldhouse, here are the top 15 tweets of the night.Related:
Despite controversial ending, K-State showed a lot in loss
No. 15 We start with one that shows the video so you can count the steps for yourself. The song is also pretty good.
Svi's favorite song must be "Travelin man" by Ricky Nelson, this was just a tribute….that's all.. https://t.co/esMz5dL4c1

No. 14 While the number may not be correct, the sentiment is.

No. 13 In case you aren’t convinced, even one KU basketball player is making jokes about the no-call travel.

No. 12 Since we included a KU basketball player, why not a K-State football player?
If I would've know you didn't have to dribble in basketball. I would've never gave up on my hoop dreams.

No. 11 KU fans were more than capable of making their own football jokes.
Fun fact: we actually did average three yards (read: steps) per rush against KSU this year. https://t.co/yHjfmm6jzY

No. 10 The taste of victory from the ownership of Texas after the bowl game wasn’t lost on one tuba player from the marching band.
KU traveled more miles this game than they did for their bowl game this year. ?☕️

No. 9 And now that we’re on the topic of football, why don’t we let the former student body president crack a joke?
To put it in football terms for them: "Svi would have gained a first down with that run"
Not that they would understand what that means

No. 8 Leave it to a Student Governing Association member to make a political joke.
K-State won the popular vote but KU literally walked away with the electoral college

No. 7 Whether you consider it religion, history or both, this joke leads you to the promised land.
@ahammsportsgeek last time i saw someone travel that long moses was on his way to the holy land

No. 6 At least KU fans learned something in their high-priced history classes.
WHAT DO THESE GUYS HAVE IN COMMON
MARCO POLO
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
FERDINAND MAGELLAN
SVI MYKHAILIUKFAMOUS TRAVELERS OF THE WORLD

No. 5 But apparently the rules of basketball were not taught in those history classes. Either that or the basketball players didn’t learn them.
Forget reply. Just go to the lobby of AFH…#kuvsksu pic.twitter.com/dHDw3PUhQ5

No. 4 That’s funny, this isn’t on the schedule. Do you think it’ll be on ESPN?
Big slate of Big 12 games tonight:
– Oklahoma vs TCU
– WVU vs Texas Tech
– K-State vs @Big12Refs— Big 12 Refs (@Big12Refs) January 3, 2017
No. 3 One K-State celebrity wasted no time in calling out the Big 12 referees.
So wait. Are big 12 football officials big 12 basketball officials? How do you miss traveling on a final shot?

No. 2 Don’t think of them as referees. Think of them as the sixth, seventh and eighth players for KU.

No. 1 This won’t be forgotten soon. The Octagon of Doom will be ready.
Svi should get a warm welcome in Manhattan in about a month or so…As warm as Siberia.
