The worst brawl college basketball has seen in years broke out at the end of No. 3 Kansas' 81-59 victory vs. Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night. It was a scary sight, one that led to dozens of players, coaches and support staff caught up in a brouhaha that lasted nearly a minute. Here are two videos of the fight, one from ESPN and one from the court, right up against the developing donnybrook.

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk - 1965.
For your interest.
Were the fighting contestants equally diverse? “Diversity makes us great.”
trash
It is what happens when low IQ young men with no impulse control get angry.
RCJH, 90s. This is just shameful.
As far as I can tell, the game is practically over. It’s a 22-point blowout. A K-State player stole the ball and raced down to the goal. Two Kansas players pursued and one hacked the K-State player as he was going in for the layup.
At the baseline, a Kansas player stood over the fallen K-State player and was obviously taunting him. Soon, an African-American in street clothes pushed then punched the Kansas player who had stood over the K-State player. The man in street clothes then retreated into the stands with Kansas players in pursuit of the puncher and K-State players in pursuit of the Kansas player.
Someone captured a photo of a Kansas player holding a bstool over his head in a threatening manner. The rest of the video is players and coaches pulling their own guys away from the incident.
Didn’t appear to be a racial incident. It appeared all the major participants were all African-Americans. The head coaches were actually shaking hands at mid-court and were unaware what was happening for a few seconds.
Looks like to me the cheerleaders took control of the situation!
Jayhawk here and my disgust with this program grows each year. Self needs to go.
RCJH, 1995. No place for this. KU is much more than basketball.
If Obama had a son.....
There was one second left on the clock when the fight started.
Refs made both teams come back out on the floor so that K state could shoot two baskets for a T-foul on a Jayhawk player, then inbound and the game was over.

AS the fight winds down, the K-State coach (Weber) can be seen ordering his team to the locker room. Good (if obvious) move by him.
What a mess.
They must’ve reformed.

So, it didn't appear to be an interracial incident.
K state does not have a ranked basketball team but the wrestling program is well regarded!
Prime NBA material.
I gotta admit, some of the comments @ You Tube are gold. Plenty of sarcasm for “these are good kids”.
That said, most at least refrained from throwing punches.
Still, Dr. J, later in his career, had the right idea. If a fight started, he’d walk to an open spot on the court and sit down.
Who, in his right mind, watches basketball?
