Kansas grabbed a tough road win Monday night in outlasting Kansas State in Manhattan 74-71. Afterward, apparently salty Kansas State coach Bruce Weber had some interesting takes on the game.

Kicked their butts, again? In two games that Kansas won? It’s a strange choice of words and a strange direction to go in a post-game press conference. And it’s an especially strange thing to say about the “play-hard chart” when the enduring image of the game was that of Kansas guard Frank Mason crashing into the stands before making an incredible effort play.

Perhaps the best response would be to quote Kansas’ two guards, Mason during the game and Devonte Graham afterward:

This is hardly the only strange thing to come from Kansas State’s coach, as he once held a mock funeral for Kansas coach Bill Self when Weber was at Illinois and felt like the players were too connected to their former coach.
