A Kansas Jayhawk hit a shot at the buzzer to propel his team to victory, only this time it wasn’t National Player of the Year candidate Frank Mason.
Instead, Svi Mykhailiuk played the role of hero on Tuesday in Kansas’ 90-88 win over rival Kansas State.
The 6-foot-8 junior might have gotten away with a traveling violation in the process.
“I don’t know, I really don’t know,” he said as he fought back laughter and his teammates openly laughed.
Asked what he saw on the replay, he added: “It was a good basket.”
“I haven’t seen it so I don’t know if he walked or not,” Kansas coach Bill Self said on the podium. “I know everybody said he did, so at least I know that some people said he did so he may have, I don’t know. But it was still a heck of an athletic play to get all the way to the hole on two bounces, I think.”
