VIDEO: Massive Brawl Breaks Out at the End of Kansas-Kansas State Matchup
By Michael Luciano
At the tail end of Kansas' 81-59 domination of rivals Kansas State, Jayhawks big man Silvio De Souza (No. 22 in white) admired his blocked shot against Wildcats guard DaJuan Gordon (No. 3 in purple). Several other Kansas State members shoved De Souza in retaliation, and that kicked off a massive brawl that saw several players from both teams and non-players alike throw and land several punches at Allen Fieldhouse.

From there, De Souza and Gordon fell into the crowd, as fans, team officials, and even employees working the game got swept up into the chaos. De Souza was seen exchanging punches with a member of Kansas State wearing a black polo, before flying into the seats.

De Souza even went as far as to pick up a folding chair with the intent of using it as a weapon! Keep in mind, this is AFTER a 22-point win at home.

It's funny and odd at first glance, sure, but both of these coaches and teams should be embarrassed.
Be you Jayhawk or Wildcat fan, everyone in attendance can agree that this was nothing short of ugly and humiliating for both programs. Both of these teams can expect significant suspensions in the immediate future after this shameful display.
