Kansas has been so good for so long in the Big 12, and at Allen Fieldhouse, that the Jayhawks hardly need help winning league games at home. Regardless, they got help Tuesday when three refs either missed or refused to call Svi Mykhailiuk's travel that preceded his buzzer-beater that lifted KU to a 90-88 win over Kansas State.
It was an embarrassing moment for those officials.
But the bottom line remains the bottom line, and the bottom line is this: KU is 13-1 overall, 2-0 in the Big 12, and the winners of 50 straight home games. The Jayhawks remain fourth in the Top 25 (and one). The complete Top 25 (and one) is below.
