Rushing the floor was not the problem, surrounding Bill Self, the Kansas coach is the problem. They came right at him from the get-go.
I don't think so. The K-State players were headed for the scorer's table to dance on it like they did last season and that's why the fans were headed in that direction. Bill Self (and Bruce Weber, the K-State coach) just didn't get clear of it quickly enough. Obviously, the K-State security staff need to be better prepared. That should have never happened.
The inexcusable action was the K-State "fan" deliberately ramming into the KU player (Traylor) from behind. Serious action should be taken against him by the university and/or law enforcement.
